Reporting and Support Pathways
Asian Australian Alliance
The Asian Australian Alliance are actively collecting information on incidents of anti-Asian racism and encourage all residents to fill out the COVID-19 Coronavirus Racism Incident Report Survey.
A number of these incidents have been reported to the police or featured on Australian/global news/media outlets. However, it is likely that a large portion of these incidents would go unreported, and the purpose of this reporting mechanism is to capture enough data to understand the frequencies of these attacks that are related to the pandemic.
Responses to this reporting mechanism will be used for analytical purposes as well as help in creating campaigns in raising the voices for Asians and Asian Australians in Australia.
