Later this year, Australians vote in a referendum about whether to change the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament. The Voice to Parliament will help give advice to the Australian Parliament and Government on matters that affect the lives of the First Peoples of Australia.
Many of our DANA members and friends in disability, multicultural, and human rights advocacy are working hard to build resources and information so that all Australians have the information to help support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament. You can find a collection of the campaigns, resources and events below.
This list will continously be updated leading up to the referendum.

Virtual Voice Town Hall
Disability Day of Solidarity
The Australian Disability Dialogue, in partnership with First Peoples Disability Network, invites everyone from across the disability sector to an online community gathering to learn more about the Voice Referendum. This is also a day to come together in solidarity with First Nations People, because as the disability community knows all too well – nothing about us, without us.
Have Your Say
First Peoples Disability Network
Have Your Say campaign aims to ensure that First Nations Peoples and non-Indigenous Australians with lived disabilities make an informed decision about an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament.
If you are living with a disability and you feel you don’t have access to factual information to make an informed choice on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Voice to Parliament we want to hear from you.
