How to Submit
What we share with the Commission, shapes Australia's future. The Commission can only act on what it hears. This opportunity will not come again.

Before you get started
Without your story, nothing changes. Jewish or not - if you've experienced or witnessed antisemitism - your story needs to be heard. This isn't just about Jewish Australians. Antisemitism fractures the society we all share.
SOME THINGS TO REFLECT ON
A moment that made you feel unsafe, singled out or excluded
A time you witnessed antisemitism directed at someone else and it changed how you see Australia
A place you avoid, or a time you hid your Jewish identity
How antisemitism has affected those around you - friendships, family, community

ShareYourStory has asked members of the community (where comfortable) to share their submissions with us to help us get a better understanding of issues being raised by members of the community. If you choose to share your submission with us, you can request for it to remain anonymous or confidential.
Submissions shared with us may also be shared with the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ) to assist their production of an Annual Antisemitism Report. These reports record antisemitic incidents and discourse over a 12-month period ending 30 September each year. We will always ask for your permission to share your submission with the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
By sharing your submissions with ShareYourStory and the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, we can ensure there is no lost incident / discourse data and maximise our community’s ability to identify trends, themes, and possible solutions.
