From the CEO's.....
On Saturday 14 October 2023, Australians will have the opportunity to participate in the referendum to enshrine a Voice to Parliament within the Australian Constitution. The First Nations Voice is the first proposal contained within the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
The Uluru Statement from the Heart is the culmination of 13 Regional Dialogues with First Nations people which arrived at a consensus about what constitutional recognition should look like. The Statement is an invitation to the Australian people from First Nations Australians. One of its key features is to ask Australians to support meaningful constitutional recognition through providing a First Nations Voice.
Myotherapy Association Australia recognises that people within our community will hold differing views and perspectives on what the outcome of the referendum should be.
We recognise the impact on First Nations people and ask our members to be respectful and sensitive as we take the time to learn, ask questions and become informed before we vote. Myotherapy Association Australia encourages all its members to form their own opinions on how they wish to vote in the upcoming referendum. As a community that is focused on the health and wellbeing of others we invite you to consider the impact the upcoming referendum may be having on those around you, your clients and yourself.
Research indicates that First Nations people may be experiencing stress, uncertainty and other mental health impacts at this time. To support the mental health needs of First Nations people, the Australian National University has published evidence-based factsheets that summarise the research findings and provide links to relevant information and support.
These factsheets have been tailored to the following audiences:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
Service providers supporting Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples
Other Resources
Indigenous Allied Health Australia
Uluru Statement from the Heart FAQs
Design Principles of the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Voice
