Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Recognition Act
The Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress (UAICC) in partnership with the Uniting Church in Australia, welcome the announcement of the Act as an overdue and vitally important first step forward on the path to a referendum and Constitutional reform. The Act will lay the groundwork for Australia’s foundation document to finally recognise the special place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, having a significant and positive impact on the way Aboriginal people see themselves and their place in the community.
