Supporting Yes is about three things:

• Recognition Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia’s Constitution and paying respect to 65, 000 years of culture and tradition.
• Listening to advice from a committee of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people about matters that affect their lives, so governments make better decisions.
• Making practical progress in Indigenous health, education, employment and housing, so people have a better life.

What is the Voice?

The Voice will be an independent representative advisory body, made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people chosen by local communities.

The Voice will give independent advice to parliament and government on the issues affecting Indigenous communities, which will lead to better
outcomes.

Embedding a Voice in the Constitution would recognise the special place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia’s history, but importantly would also mean that it can’t be shut down by successive Governments.

Supporting Yes means:

Real, practical improvements in the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Giving people a say on issues that affect them, like their health, education and jobs.

Acknowledging in our Constitution that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been here for more than 60,000 years.

Making history. Helping deliver a fair go for all. Making Australia a stronger and more united country.
