Rather, human rights are protected in Australia through the Australian Constitution, Common law, Statute law, Non-interference, Courts and Tribunals, Bills of rights enacted within the ACT and Victoria, A proposed Australian Charter (or Bill) of Rights. Additionally, Government and NGOs along with the media, participate in the promotion and monitoring of the protection of human rights in Australia.

  - the right to a trial by jury (Section 80)
  - freedom of religion (Section 116)
