Constitutional Recognition

The Australian Government is committed to recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians in the Constitution.

To progress this, the Government has allocated $7.3 million for the co-design of models to improve local and regional decision making and options for constitutional recognition.

Consultations will be undertaken with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians to define a Voice and to consider options for constitutional recognition.
