Indigenous legal advocates are calling for change, justice and accountability from the government, following two Indigenous deaths in custody this week.
Authorities confirmed two Indigenous men died in prison in Victoria and New South Wales on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services Chair Priscilla Atkins is concerned at the lack of information about all deaths in custody.
"Governments must stop avoiding responsibility and act now to ensure these injustices for our people end and there is accountability for those responsible. We are also concerned at the lack of information about all deaths in custody," she said.
"It is important that families have time to be notified and have a chance to grieve privately - but also important for governments to ensure as much transparency as possible".
