What to report?

Any Islamophobic incident or Islamophobic content, whether offline or online, can be reported. Most Islamophobia incidents can be categorised in the following groups:

    Assaults or attacks on persons of Muslim background

    Attacks on Muslim property or institutions

    Verbal abuse and hate speech/social media abuse

    Any form of discrimination in a public or private environment

    Why report?

    Reporting your incident to us will allow us to:

    • Link you to culturally sensitive mental health support
    • Link you to seek free legal support through our pro-bono partners
    • Provide advocacy in certain circumstances
    • Track Islamophobia within Australia through data collection and analysis
    • Produce academic reports which are published biennially based on the data analysis.

    Who can report?

    You can report incidents of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim sentiments if:
