Civics & Citizenship: Home

The Civics and Citizenship Education website contains resources, information, activities and links for teachers, students and parents involved in civics and citizenship education. It entails knowledge and understanding of Australia's democratic heritage and traditions, its political and legal institutions and the shared values of freedom, tolerance, respect, responsibility and inclusion.

Human rights are an important part of our lives. In fact, they are so much a part of everyday living that we often take them for granted. Consider how often you drink clean water, eat food, go to school, say or write what you think, get treated by a doctor, practice a religion (or not), or expect to be treated fairly by others. All of these everyday activities depend on the adequate protection of your human rights, and the rights of others. Read through this website to learn more about human rights in Australia.

This website will give you information on the rights, responsibilities and privileges that come with being an Australian citizen. It also looks at Australian values and how you can embody them.
