This guide is for campaigners, policy officers, researchers and communicators working on public advocacy to build support for a national Human Rights Act in Australia.

The aim of this guide is to support advocates to develop messages that:

• build public awareness and understanding about the need for a national Human Rights Act, and translate this into support and public pressure

• deal effectively with criticism and negative arguments made by various commentators.

The tips in this guide were prepared by Common Cause Australia based on research commissioned by the Australian Human Rights Commission in 2023.
