Respectful conversations around the Voice referendum

On Saturday, 14 October, we will be asked to vote on a change to the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

It is important to us that our people have an understanding of what the Voice is, and how you can have your say.

Shannon Foley, Chief People Officer, will be hosting several fact-based conversations aimed at fostering informed and respectful discussions about the ‘Voice’ referendum.

During the conversations, Shannon will cover topics such as:

  • Engage in respectful conversations about the referendum.
  • Provide insights into the referendum, including the reasons for taking place and the specific referendum question.
  • Present both sides of the YES | NO campaign to ensure a balanced perspective.
  • Ensure everyone has the information they need to make their voice heard.

Fact-based conversations

These conversations will provide a respectful, apolitical, fact-based opportunity to better understand the referendum and what Australians will be asked when they turn up to vote.

The sessions are for one hour only and are not compulsory. You can join Shannon by clicking here on the date and time that suits you.
