The Sydney Jewish Museum has developed a new resource focused on antisemitism and its history, created by their team. The resource is an important project aimed at addressing a pressing issue – the rise of hatred against Jewish people in Australia and across the globe.

For this reason, the Sydney Jewish Museum has created an online platform that contains a thorough, research-based exploration of the history of antisemitism, how it manifests in contemporary society, and practical strategies to combat it.

The resource aims to equip and empower you to notice, question, and stand up to hate when you see or hear it.

You can access the resource and learn more about key terms and concepts related to antisemitism via the Sydney Jewish Museum's website. 

The Workplace Cultural Diversity Tool is a free self-assessment tool based on international best practice. The Tool is designed to support employers, managers and human resources personnel as they work to promote cultural diversity and engage in anti-racism in the workplace.

You can access an offline-version of the Tool's assessment questions below. We recommend completing the online version of the Tool, to receive analysed results, recommended resources and track your progress over time.

The Tool is reviewed and updated regularly to align with good practice, the questions within this resource are therefore subject to change. The questions in this resource are valid as of July 2023.

You can find the Tool here: https://itstopswithme.humanrights.gov.au/workplace-cultural-diversity-tool.

The CiQ Program is designed to build understanding, not overwhelm, so cultural lessons are drip fed every week to allow learners time to engage with the content. Every three weeks, learners can join a LIVE Cultural Coaching session providing regular opportunities to check their understanding and connect with other learners.

The CiQ program incorporates four core modules exploring:

• Cultural values
• Cultural competencies
• Cultural barriers
• Cultural considerations

You can access more information about the CiQ program and enrol into the course via their website.

Reporting Racism Clearing House resource

Reporting Racism Clearing House provides a collection of information and resources about how to report racism or racial discrimination in Australia.

The website recommends strategies on how to effectively be an active bystander and ally for those targeted by racism. It highlights research from the Challenging Racism Project providing a series of videos about how to speak up and actions you can consider taking when you witness racism.

Reporting Racism Clearing House covers information about reporting racism, including that which occurs in locations where people are most likely to be discriminated and how to make a complaint. The website includes detailed information about legal frameworks relating to racism, dispute resolution, counselling and self-care resources for victims and witnesses of racist incidents.

Knowing how to respond to racist remarks from friends and relatives can be a minefield. On the one hand, you want to call them out for their misinformed bigotry but doing so can lead to an argument or awkwardness, without actually convincing them to change their view.

Amnesty International provides 7 steps to communicate clearly and effectively to help reduce the casual racism that is still prevalent in a lot of Australian communities.
