Australian people come from many lands, practise many faiths and speak many languages. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples are the First Peoples of Australia and have lived here for more than 65,000 years. But Australia’s Constitution doesn’t recognise their unique status. This is why later this year, we will be able to consider a change to our Constitution through a Referendum.
All Australians will have a chance to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our Constitution, through a Voice that will ensure they are heard on issues that affect them. On this page, you will find resources to engage all Australians, no matter what your cultural background is.
