We support an Indigenous Voice to Parliament
In the spirit of reconciliation, Griffith University acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
Our campuses are based on the land of the Yugarabul, Yuggera, Jagera, Turrbal, Yugambeh and Kombumerri people. As a values led university, we are committed to just relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and celebrating their culture, knowledge and talents.
Griffith University expresses its support of an Indigenous Voice in the terms set out in the proposed referendum to change the Constitution.
We are committed to providing materials and space for informed discussion. We affirm our commitment to academic freedom and freedom of speech and acknowledge that members of the Griffith staff and student community will have a diversity of views on the Voice. We respect their right to express those views.
This year will be a significant one for Australia and for the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. We resolve that Griffith University will model respectful dialogue, living our values of both respect for First Peoples and for informed discussion.
