Supporting the Uluru Statement From The Heart: the National Allyship Summit 2024, a one day summit of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders & allies is being held at University of Wollongong University today, 8 August

 



Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders and allies from across the country are coming together at 9am today for a National Allyship Summit to champion continued allyship on the Uluru Statement from the Heart.


The Uluru Statement from the Heart, first issued to the Australian public in 2017, represents the largest ever consensus of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples on a meaningful model of reform.


Since the 2023 Voice for First Nations People referendum, Allies for Uluru have continued conversations on how to collectively support and continue to progress the Uluru Statement’s core principles – Voice, Treaty and Truth.


Led by The Fred Hollows Foundation, ANTAR, and Oxfam, and backed by a coalition of over 300 member organisations, the Allies for Uluru champions action that supports the aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, articulated in the Uluru Statement from the Heart.


This year Allies for Uluru have partnered with the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre, University of Wollongong, to amplify the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders on the journey forward and how allies can support.


Allies for Uluru is a coalition of 300 organisations.
