How to Submit

  1. Save a document on an external platform (Microsoft Word, Google Sheets, Notes etc.) to draft your submission.

  2. Start drafting your submission. For support with thought starters, see here.

  3. Decide if you want to be anonymous or not – if so, do not include identifying information in the document.

  4. Read it carefully and make any edits to make it as easy to read as possible.

  5. Check that there’s nothing you’ve forgotten to include or needs more detail or attachments. For more information about how to deal with attachments, see our detailed guide.

  6. Submit your submission via the Royal Commission website.

  7. Keep a copy of your reference number (you will need this if you make more than one submission) – you do not receive a confirmation email so will need to do this manually.

  8. If you’re comfortable doing so, send us a copy of your submission at info@shareyourstory.org.au

Our Suggestions

  • Write it in your own words

  • Include supporting materials (if possible)

Sharing Your Submission

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.

For more information about the Executive Council of Australian Jewry’s annual report, please visit their website.
