Submissions
The Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion invites interested members of the public and institutions to make submissions to the Commission using an online form (the link to the form is below). The Commission will continue to accept submissions until at least the end of May 2026.
The online form is designed to capture information that is relevant to the work of the Commission and consistent with the areas of inquiry set out in the Commission's Terms of Reference.
Completing the online submission form
The Commission is using one online form for all submissions.
The form includes questions about:
- you (e.g. your name, contact details, whether you identify as being from a particular group)
- your submission (e.g. what is it about, is it made on your own behalf or for someone else)
- which of the Commission's Terms of Reference your submission is about.
Important: please ensure you complete the online form in one sitting and press 'submit' or it will not be saved. It may be useful, and save time, if you prepare your submission in a Word document and then copy and paste the text into the online form. The form will time out if it is inactive for 30 minutes.
You may make your submission anonymously and you may choose not to provide contact details. Your submission will still be reviewed by the Commission. However, the Commission will be unable to contact you if it needs to verify details in your submission.
Your submission may be made public but you may request that it not be made public. Submissions that are made public may include redactions that are applied as the Commission considers appropriate. You may request that, if your submission is made public, your name remains anonymous.
Completing as much of the form as possible will assist the Commission to identify issues and trends. Your assistance is very much appreciated.
Before you make a submission
Before you make a submission, please note that the Commission cannot resolve individual disputes. It cannot fix or award compensation or make orders requiring a party to a dispute to take or not take any action.
How your information will be used
The information you give to the Commission is provided to help the Commission with its work and will be used for the purposes of the Commission.
The Commission may contact some individuals or entities that make submissions. The Commission will not contact everyone who makes a submission, but will ensure that all submissions are recorded, reviewed and used to inform the Commission's work.
The information you provide may be published by the Commission during its proceedings or in its reports without revealing the identity of the person or entity who supplied the information. At the conclusion of the Commission all its records, including submissions, will become subject to requests under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (the FOI Act). Royal Commissions are not subject to the FOI Act while they are in operation.
Making a submission
To make a submission to the Royal Commission, please complete the online form which can be completed entirely online.
