Religion and spirituality

Freedom of religion is a human right, whether there are a million people of faith, or a hundred, or one.

Australia is a diverse multicultural, multi-faith society. Multiculturalism means more than just lots of people from different ethnic backgrounds or faiths living together. It involves each group being encouraged to hold on to, share and respect what’s valuable about their own distinctive cultures and traditions.
