ABOUT US

Change the Record is Australia’s only national Aboriginal led justice coalition of Aboriginal peak bodies and non-Aboriginal allies. We work to end the incarceration of, and family violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Everything we do is strength-based, culturally focused and grounded in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self-determination.

Our vision is an Australia in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are self-determined, strong in culture and thriving in communities.

We want to see governments closing rather than opening prisons, supporting and investing in Aboriginal-led solutions and holistic approaches, and being held accountable for injustices.

We want to see communities get real justice from systems or processes which are fair and Aboriginal-led; individuals and systems are free from racism, discrimination, family violence and systemic inequality.
