The Framework draws on the best available evidence in Australia and internationally, in order to provide a set of themes, strategies and priority settings for the development and implementation of activities that achieve sustainable reductions in race-based discrimination. Although the causes of discrimination are varied and complex, there is emerging evidence that the individual, organisational, community and societal factors that contribute to it can be prevented. Drawing on this evidence, the Framework provides a platform for action. It is intended for broad usage across government, corporate, non-government and community sectors and it is hoped that it will be a useful resource in policy and program development, implementation and evaluation.
