A Voice to Parliament was proposed by the Uluru Statement and is intended to be enshrined in the Constitution. It will:

1. Give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders a say over the policies and programs that impact them, such as health and education.

2. Give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders a say over the legislation that the Government could introduce that impact them.

A Voice gives the Australian Government the opportunity to make policies with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, rather than for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
