I would like to begin by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land on which we are meeting today, and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and to any First Nations People attending in person or watching today’s broadcast.
Commissioner colleagues, senior staff of the Commission, Commission EAs, colleagues from the Attorney-General's Department, my husband Emeritus Professor John Croucher, friends and colleagues.
The Attorney-General’s Department is seeking expressions of interest from human rights leaders and experts for two key roles at the Commission – President, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner.
The current position holders President Emeritus Professor Rosalind Croucher AM and Commissioner June Oscar AO will end their tenures in July and April 2024 respectively.
