Uluru Statement from the Heart

The Australian Government has committed to implement the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full.

The Statement calls for:

• a First Nations Voice to be permanently included in the Constitution
• the establishment of a Makarrata Commission to supervise agreement-making and truth-telling about our history.

On 14 October 2023, a referendum will be held on whether to change the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.
