On October 14, Australians will participate in a referendum on whether to constitutionally recognise and establish an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. Conversations surrounding the referendum should remain respectful and not produce harmful discriminatory behaviours or abuse.
As this vote approaches, it is important to remember that everyone deserves to live free from discrimination and inequality. Our website contains other information about discrimination, your rights, and complaint pathways.
The Australian Human Rights Commission has published practical tips on how to respectfully approach discussions on the Voice referendum. Find its guide on minimising harm in conversations about the referendum on its website:
