The Commission has produced an educational resource kit to encourage the Australian public to consider the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum through a human rights lens.

Conversations about the referendum and proposed Voice to Parliament have the potential to be harmful for First Nations peoples. The Commission’s Voice referendum resources seek to minimise harm by encouraging cultural humility and focusing the conversation on human rights principles as they relate to the referendum and proposed Voice to Parliament.

Yes23.com.au with QR Code. Pink text on purple background What is ‘A Voice to Parliament’?

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.
