A Voice to Parliament is a body enshrined in the Constitution that would enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to provide advice to Parliament on policies and projects that impact their lives.

It is the first reform proposed under the Uluru Statement From the Heart, which was addressed to the Australian people in 2017, and invited the nation to work together to create a  better future through key reforms.

Families Australia is proud to support an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. Together we can have a positive impact on the lives of Indigenous Australians.
