How can we learn from examples of existing consultative processes in policy development to better understand the benefits of an Indigenous Voice to Parliament?

Consultation with those affected by a given policy is an established and basic principle of good policy making. As the nation considers the modest proposal for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, examples abound demonstrating that when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities have a genuine say about their future, outcomes improve.

In this panel discussion hosted by the Sydney Policy Lab at the University of Sydney, and Chaired by Dr Terri Janke, we will hear from Indigenous leaders about a number of existing, empowering Indigenous consultative processes and how the next step is to require Parliament to give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people a Voice in their own affairs.

Chaired by Dr Terri Janke. Panel Members: Geoffrey Winters, Professor Deborah Cheetham Fraillon, Denise Bowden

Guests will be invited for a Q&A session after the panel discussion, followed by a catered reception.

This event is free, but space is limited so registration is required.
