The third and final interim report of the Yoorrook Justice Commission considers systemic injustices in land, health, education, housing, economic and political life, and access to records. 

The report identifies five key themes raised by First Peoples throughout the inquiries:

1. the past is the present
2. sovereignty
3. self-determination
4. rights
5. accountability. 

These themes provide a framework to examine the causes and consequences of systemic injustice against First Peoples, as well as a way forward for Victorians to effectively acknowledge and address them.

The report makes 100 recommendations across four categories: 

• transformative change through the treaty process
• urgent reforms: self-determination, rights and accountability
• urgent reforms:
  • land
  • education
  • health
  • housing
  • economic
  • political life
  • access to records
  • redress.

Yoorrook expects that the Victorian Government immediately commence work to implement the urgent recommendations made in this report so that they can be achieved over the next 12-24 months. Yoorrook recognises that work to fulfil these urgent recommendations may be supplemented by consultations within the treaty process. However, treaty processes must not be used as an excuse for delay where the evidence gathered by Yoorrook demonstrates a clear case for standalone reform in the immediate short term.
