Anti-racism Reporting and Support Services

Depending on your situation, there are different ways to report racism or get support for yourself or someone else facing racism.

• Victorian Equal Opportunity & Human Rights Commission Services Directory: A detailed list of services for support if you experience racism.
• Islamic Council of Victoria: Islamophobia Support Service
• Victoria Police: information on prejudice-motivated crime, including racial and religious vilification.

Hume City Council is currently developing an anti-racism support services booklet and this page will be updated in early 2025.

The Community Reporting Tool by the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission (VEOHRC) is a quick and easy way for you to report racism or other discrimination that you’ve experienced or witnessed.

Reports made by the tool are sent securely and confidentially to the Commission.

When you make a report, you can choose not to be contacted or ask the Commission to contact you if you want further information about your rights or how you can make a complaint.

In 2023, Hume Council partnered with Victoria University on the “Understanding reporting barriers and support needs of people experiencing racism” project.

Read the Victorian report about the damaging effects of racism, why those impacted often stay silent, and ways to improve anti-racism support across Victoria.
