Abstract: Commissioner is required to report annually to the Attorney-General regarding the exercise and enjoyment of human rights by Australia's Indigenous peoples. This provision also allows the Commissioner to make recommendations as to action that should be taken to ensure such enjoyment. The Commissioner has a role to monitor and evaluate the human rights performance of Australian governments in concrete and specific circumstances. This includes assessing domestic situations against international human rights benchmarks.
