Antisemitism has become a mainstream threat, challenging national values and public safety. This plan is a call to action and a work plan. It seeks to address the causes of antisemitism, confront its many forms, educate Australians about it and its dangers, ensure the Jewish community is protected and uphold the liberal democratic values that unite all Australians.

The plan outlines how the Envoy will address antisemitism across education, law, digital spaces and community life. The framework is built around 13 interrelated focus areas, each critical to fostering safety, national unity and resilience. It advocates for a series of measures in order to confront antisemitism, including legislative reforms, institutional accountability, public education and enforcement.

These initiatives will continue to evolve as local and international circumstances change. They reflect the direction already undertaken by the Envoy’s office, with some measures already underway, some to commence shortly and still others intended for long-term rollout. The Envoy intends to provide annual reports detailing progress on the implementation of this plan and will periodically review the need to update it to ensure its continued relevance and responsiveness.

Countering antisemitism must not be the burden solely of the Jewish community; nor can governments alone be expected to fight antisemitism on Australians’ behalf. Community leaders, educators, businesses, media, creatives and citizens must unite. It is a responsibility shared by all Australians.
