We're Australia's Only First Nations Led coalition of legal, health & family violence prevention experts

We campaign to end the incarceration of, and family violence against, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

We work to end family violence against First Nations women and children and reduce the over-incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Our campaigns focus on holistic, evidence-based solutions that address the root causes of violence and systemic injustice while empowering community-driven change.

First Nations People experience violence, incarceration and deaths in custody at rates far higher than non-Indigenous Australians. Change the Record is campaigning for long term solutions to these complex issues - all we need is the political will and resources to make these solutions a reality.

Some key areas of our focus include:

Reforming bail and mandatory sentencing laws which contribute to high rates First Nations People being incarcerated.
Raising the age of legal responsibility in all States and Territories to at least 14 to reduce the numbers of First Nations children in detention.
Addressing the housing crisis and improving social security for First Nations Peoples.
Reinvesting funds from the costly and ineffective prison system into social programs that address the underlying causes of violence and detention of First Nations Peoples.

No child should grow up behind bars. Children end up behind bars because our governments have failed them: failed to provide a safe and stable home, failed to offer adequate health checks to identify impairments or disabilities early on, failed to keep them safe, and failed to respond to their calls for help.
