Overview

• The commission’s two-volume final report includes an official public record documenting colonisation-era crimes against humanity and genocide against Aboriginal Victorians.
• ‘Yoorrook for Transformation’, the second volume, spans five books and sets out 100 recommendations for systemic reform across justice, health, education, land rights and self-determination funding.
• A fine-print caveat notes that three of the five commissioners did not endorse all factual findings, reflecting internal divisions during the four-year inquiry.
• The Victorian government has committed to carefully review the report’s recommendations, consult on embedding the First Peoples’ Assembly in parliamentary processes and prepare treaty legislation later this year.
• The commission’s work drew on 67 days of public hearings, over 9,000 submissions and community engagement events including a high-profile Walk for Truth.
