The NSW Council for Civil Liberties (NSWCCL) was founded in 1963 and is one of Australia’s leading human rights and civil liberties organisations. Its aim is to secure the equal rights of everyone (as long as they don’t infringe the rights and freedoms of others) and oppose any abuse or excessive power by the State against its people. NSWCCL attempts to influence public debate and government policy on a range of human rights issues. We try to secure amendments to laws, or changes in policy, where civil liberties are not fully respected. NSWCCL also listens to individual complaints and, through volunteer efforts, attempt to help members of the public with civil liberties problems. It also prepares submissions to government, conducts court cases defending infringements of civil liberties, engages regularly in public debates, produces publications, and conducts many other activities. The NSWCCL aims to assist in the protection of rights and liberties by investigating any infringement of rights by governments, their agencies or others in authority (especially the police).
