Here we are almost at Referendum Day, 14 October 2023 – a defining historic moment for our nation.

Australians are being asked whether they are prepared to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by enshrining a Voice to parliament in our constitution.

Powerful conversations between First Nations people led to the Uluru Statement from The Heart.

Powerful conversations since have led us to this moment.

One of the simplest things we can all do in the remaining days is talk with others and share facts about the Voice, so voters can make an informed decision.

Can you help to spread key facts about the Voice by sharing this fact sheet?
