Community Legal Centres Queensland held a day of Human Rights training in March 2019 as a result of the introduction of a Human Rights Bill into Queensland Parliament in late 2018. The training was for front-line workers and focused on how the new laws can be used as an advocacy tool for clients and communities.
The session was facilitated by Melbourne-based Human Rights consultant Ben Schokman.

He has over 15 years’ experience working in the community and corporate sectors.
