What we’re about
Welcome to Humanists Australia!
Humanism is a non-religious life stance that values compassion, reason, democracy and human rights. Are you a humanist? To find out, take the How Humanist Are You? quiz or ask us at one of our Meetups.
Our Meetups are a safe space for engaging in discussion. With us, you can voice your opinion, and have your views heard and respected. You can feel free to challenge the ideas that are put forward, and engage in robust discussion about them. We ask you to treat each other with mutual respect and consideration. While debating the ideas, there is no place here for criticism of people. We speak respectfully to each other, even when we disagree.
Humanists Australia welcomes all humanists, and others who are interested in learning about humanism and discussing topics related to humanism, to this Meetup.
Those who come to our Meetups are asked to adhere to the Humanists Australia Code of Conduct. We do not allow harassment of any kind, or promotion of any goods, services or groups unrelated to humanism (except by prior permission of the organisers).

•OnlineCatholic Abuse and the Struggle for Justice
OnlineIn this talk, Terry Kelly will recount his battle to get justice for the abuse he suffered at the hands of a Marist Brother. Terry was a student at the Assumption College in Kilmore where the Marist Brothers Order intentionally sent a known multiple sex offender to his school whereupon, as was common, he re-offended. After many decades of silence, Terry spoke up to finally make the Catholic Church accountable for its actions and inactions. Come and hear Terry's story of sorrow and final triumph.
