The New South Wales Council for Civil Liberties

The New South Wales Council for Civil Liberties (NSWCCL) is an independent organization in Australia that advocates for the protection and promotion of civil liberties and human rights. Established in 1963, it aims to safeguard individual freedoms such as privacy, freedom of speech, and the right to a fair trial. The Council engages in public education, policy advocacy, and legal challenges to defend these rights, particularly against government actions that may infringe upon them. It plays a vital role in raising awareness of civil rights issues and ensuring that legislation respects individual freedoms in New South Wales.
