This report reveals what we already know: Australia's immigration detention regime is not a safe place - for children or for adults.
We continue to advocate for improving healthcare in immigration detention and an end to cruel mandatory detention.

Australia's migration health requirements are unjust & reinforce the stigma & discrimination that people with disabilities already face. We've joined 100+ voices calling for urgent reform https://t.co/Rf97vLtWzb #WelcomingDisability @DownSyndromeAu @AusLawyersHR #auslaw

It was so brilliant to speak at the Griffith (my hometown!) #IWD breakfast yesterday with my sister @HilaryGeddes- we spoke about the power of #publiceducation & how growing up in an amazing regional community provided us with immeasurable support & courage to pursue our dreams!

Medical professionals have written an open letter to Australian Parliament calling for the immediate evacuation of those detained in Nauru & PNG. Experts agree that offshore & onshore #immigrationdetention causes harm: we need to end mandatory detention https://t.co/WqDblVQgDQ

Fantastic launch last night of the new book '50 Human Rights Cases that Changed Australia' @lucygeddes and @hamish_mcl. So proud to have published this one.

1/3 UN inspectors to prevent torture have officially terminated an Australian visit for lack of cooperation. Rwanda is the only other country to refuse to allow these inspectors to do their job.

It's shameful that we refuse oversight of human rights in places of detention.
