Habib Jamal has dedicated over two decades to promoting multicultural harmony, interfaith collaboration and social justice. His work brings together diverse and underrepresented groups in society to give them a voice.
Habib has worked on many advisory bodies advocating for social cohesion, interfaith unity and inclusion. He previously served as president of the Islamic Council of Queensland and is currently president of Queensland Muslims Inc., which represents 45 organisations promoting social justice, inclusivity and diversity.
Within the Muslim community, Habib has worked to overcome the stigma associated with mental health. He is also active in raising support in times of need, whether it’s a bushfire emergency or the COVID pandemic.
Habib’s leadership has empowered Queensland’s diverse multicultural communities and inspired social change. To mark this achievement, the Queensland Human Rights Commission recently named a room at its new premises after him in recognition of his contribution to inclusivity and diversity.
