Right Now exists to make Australians think differently about human rights and the way these issues impact their own lives. It is a platform for independent, timeless pieces of targeted investigations and editorial work that focus on underreported issues.

Right Now focuses on several central pillars under the umbrella of human rights: First Nations Justice, Law and Policy, Society and Culture, and Climate Change. 

The work of our established and emerging writers, journalists, artists and experts aims to inform and empower by providing the free flow of information and upholding the ethics and foundations of journalism. Right Now presents human rights stories in compelling and creative ways that are relevant to people’s everyday lives. 

Please support our fundraising appeal with a tax-deductible donation and help us continue to stimulate the conversation in Australia, to pay our artists a fair wage and to inspire and inform Australians about their human rights. 

We are entirely independent and run by passionate volunteers. We rely on our wonderful supporters to keep doing what we do.

Thank you so much for your support. 

"The thing I love about Right Now – and I've written for them before, and I'm a strong reader of the journal – is that they do tackle serious and important social issues, but they are wonderful at producing essays in an accessible manner, that is both highly intelligent for a reader and accessible to that lay public." – Tony Birch
