ABORIGINAL COMMUNITY POLICE OFFICERS (ACPO)
Aboriginal Community Police Officers are claiming damages for more than two decades of racial discrimination over pay and conditions, as well as compensation for pain and suffering, which they allege has been caused by systemic racism in the NT Police Force.
Landmark Class Action Against NT Government and Police Commissioner
Levitt Robinson Solicitors are representing Aboriginal Police Officers in a ground-breaking class action against the Northern Territory Government and the Police Commissioner. Officers allege decades of racial discrimination, including racial vilification, unequal pay and promotion, and a systemic lack of respect within the Northern Territory Police Service.
This is the first time serving Aboriginal Police Officers have taken collective action against their employer, highlighting the pervasive nature of systemic racism within the force. If conciliation fails, the case will proceed to the Federal Court, seeking substantial damages for racial discrimination and related harms.
