This is Australia's Defining Moment
to Confront Antisemitism in Healthcare

The Bell Royal Commission into Antisemitism represents the most significant opportunity in Australian history to hold institutions accountable for the normalisation of hatred. In healthcare and health education โ€” workplaces built on the promise of care โ€” antisemitism has been allowed to fester, disguised as clinical neutrality, protected by silence, and amplified by those who should have known better. Your testimony changes that.

Whether you are a doctor, nurse, student, patient, researcher, educator, or administrator โ€” if you have witnessed, experienced, or contributed to evidence of antisemitism in Australian healthcare, this is where your voice becomes history. The Commission is listening. Make them hear you.

Healthcare is Not Neutral Ground.
Silence Has Been Its Own Form of Harm.

Using the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism and the moral cost framework of Levitt, List, Akerlof, and Kranston, AZHA is documenting how institutional actors have systematically lowered the social and moral cost of antisemitism โ€” making it easier to perpetrate and harder to report.

๐Ÿฅ

Providers & Institutions

Hospitals, clinics, and medical schools that failed to act on complaints, permitted hostile environments, or allowed discriminatory conduct to go unchallenged have shifted the norm of acceptable behaviour.

๐ŸŽ“

Educators & Universities

Medical and nursing schools where antisemitism in teaching, supervision, or curriculum was tolerated โ€” or where Zionist students faced systemic bias โ€” represent a pipeline failure with generational consequences.

โš–๏ธ

Regulators & Professional Bodies

AHPRA, colleges, and unions that allowed vexatious complaints against Jewish clinicians, failed to enforce equal protection, or permitted discriminatory resolutions contributed to a broken accountability system.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Online & Institutional Media

Social media campaigns targeting Jewish healthcare workers, hospital communications that legitimised antisemitic framing, and media that amplified hatred without scrutiny all carry moral and evidentiary weight.

๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ

Political & Policy Failure

Politicians, policymakers, and bureaucrats who confused freedom of speech with a licence to harass, intimidate, or exclude Jewish and Zionist healthcare professionals betrayed their duty of care to all Australians.

๐Ÿ‘ค

Patient Experience

Jewish patients who avoided or delayed care, experienced hostility in clinical settings, or were denied equal treatment by providers whose bias contaminated the therapeutic relationship have a right to be heard.
