The National Anti-Racism Strategy was launched in August 2012 for an initial period of three years. Its objectives were to raise awareness of racism and its effects, promote initiatives that prevent and reduce racism, and empower communities to take action to prevent and reduce racism. In 2015, it was extended for a further three years.

The Strategy is a partnership-based strategy, involving government departments and a number of non-government organisations. As of August 2018, there are more than 370 organisations that are supporters of the campaign. 

This report reviews and evaluates the Strategy, including the Racism. It Stops with Me campaign. It provides an overview of the state of play on race in Australia, and documents the Commission's work since 2015.
