The next Federal Government must continue to take steps to ensure the full and equitable participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the economic, social and cultural life of Australia.

Our work shows the majority of Australians support reconciliation and expect governments to act.
Reconciliation has always had multi-party support, and the next Federal Government, working across the parliament, must place the key tenets of reconciliation at the heart of its work. It must show determined leadership in Australia’s reconciliation journey.
