Here is a summary of the document:

Summary:

New guidelines for Commission appointments have been published by the Attorney-General to ensure transparency and merit-based selection of the President and Commissioners of the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC). The guidelines, which are based on Australia's anti-discrimination laws and UN standards, outline a process that includes public advertising, an initial 5-year tenure with a maximum of 7 years, and assessment by senior public servants. The Attorney-General's Department is seeking public feedback on the guidelines until August 22, 2023, particularly from those interested in the future selection of commissioners.
