Abstract
This report focuses on Australian data collected in the
last five years (2016–2020) and underscores the high
prevalence of racial discrimination experienced by
children and young people from Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander backgrounds, and from some ethnic
minoritised groups.
It also focuses on what works in interventions to
reduce the impacts of racism on health.
Existing data is under-utilised and substantial data
gaps remain. To inform the targeting of future action
across policy, research and practice, investment is
needed in the analysis of data already collected and
to quantify and capture children and young people’s
contemporary experiences of racial discrimination.
While high-quality evidence of effective anti-racism
strategies among children and young people is
relatively sparse, we have identified promising
approaches and key principles for action to enable a
more detailed understanding of the response required
to address racism as a fundamental cause of ill-health
and health inequalities for children and young people.
