The QCCL is a volunteer organisation working to protect the human rights and civil liberties of all Queenslanders. Since 1966 we have campaigned for law reform on everything from privacy to protest law, promoted human rights in the media and hosted a range of educational events.
Our Aims
Be vigilant in matters affecting civil liberties and to safeguard and develop respect for human rights and freedoms
Provide information about threats to, and the abuse of, rights and liberties and to foster the study of legal and human rights
Seek solutions to problems related to civil liberties, including prison reform, censorship and rights of minority groups
Provide, when necessary, neutral observers at marches and demonstrations.
The QCCL relies entirely on the financial contributions of our members and on donations. We do not receive financial support from government or corporations and none of our office holders or members receive remuneration for their roles.
There are plenty of ways to get involved with the QCCL and our work. If you’re interested in human rights, civil liberties, and building a better Queensland, why not get involved with the Council
Members are invited to collaborate on submissions to parliament, contribute to the Council’s position-statements, receive discounted prices on events, and receive exclusive member content. Join today!
Don’t have the time to write submissions? You can still help! Whether your interest is marketing, event management or catering - we’re always on the lookout for helping hands.
If you don’t have time to volunteer at events or become a member, you still can support us by making one-off or regular donations. Any amount you can spare would be gratefully received.
- The Honourable Dame Quentin Bryce AD CVO
