ABOUT CHANGE THE RECORD

Change the Record is Australia’s only national, First Nations-led coalition of legal, health, family violence, and campaigning experts. We work to end family violence against First Nations women and children and reduce the over-incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
