Bringing Our Multifaith Neighbours Together for Reconciliation: The Voice

The Interfaith Centre of Melbourne invites you to attend a special World Interfaith Harmony Week event in the Melbourne Town Hall, 90 -140 Swanston Street, Melbourne, to hear clear information about a Voice to Parliament from First Nations People and from religious and community leaders who are working for Reconciliation on Sunday 26 February, 2023, 5.30 pm – 7.30 pm.

The Indigenous Voice to Parliament (the Voice) is the proposed new advisory group containing separately elected Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, enshrined in the Constitution of Australia, which would “have a responsibility and right to advise the Australian Parliament and Government on national matters of significance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples”.

Religious and Community leaders and leaders from the wider community are invited to attend this special World Interfaith Harmony Week event to hear clear information about the Voice to Parliament from First Nations People with lived experience, and leaders who are working for Reconciliation.

Question and Answer time will be scheduled for all those important questions.
