The Voice to Parliament – a health consumer lens

Australians are being asked to go to the polls on October 14th and vote on whether the Constitution should be amended to recognise a First Nations Voice to Parliament.

Health Consumers’ Council hosted a lunchtime discussion on 6 October for people in representative roles as health consumers, carers, people with lived experience or community members to meet and learn about The Voice, and discuss the implications for healthcare and health outcomes.

In this presentation, we review some factual information about The Voice developed by Reconciliation WA and look at some of the expected health impacts for Aboriginal people of The Voice.
