Did you know on this day in 1967, Australians went to the polls and overwhelmingly supported the alteration to the Australian Constitution to count First Peoples in the population. Historic.

Let’s see this support again later this yearDid you know on this day in 1967, Australians went to the polls and overwhelmingly supported the alteration to the Australian Constitution to count First Peoples in the population. Historic.

Let’s see this support again later this year.

On 26 May 2017, the Uluru Statement was issued to the Australian people.

Six years later, we have the opportunity to vote YES and turn its words into reality.

[Mission Australia @MissionAust]

Together with the Strengthening Communities Alliance, @MissionAust have launched a position paper on place-based community-led approaches to strengthen communities. We call on the Federal Gov to lead systemic responses to scale up these initiatives.

Young people tell us that the threat of climate change and the increasing regularity and severity of extreme weather harms their mental health and well-being. We must act to reduce the harm young people are experiencing. @orygen_aus https://t.co/d7rQp44IT5

[Mission Australia @MissionAust]

🌏We’ve partnered with @orygen_aus to release a report revealing the extent that climate concerns impact the #mentalhealth of young people. Our #YouthSurvey2022 shows 1/4 young people in Aus are very concerned or extremely concerned about climate change.

An enshrined Voice to Parliament will improve the lives of not just First Peoples, but also future generations and all Australians.

Let’s get this done.

Our Co-Chairs Professor Megan Davis and Pat Anderson AO appeared on a panel alongside Minister for Indigenous Australians @LindaBurneyMP today at an event hosted by @SydPeaceFound and @FredHollows.

Thanks for having us!

[Fred Hollows @FredHollows]

"A constitutional Voice (to Parliament) is important because it means decisions are made about first First Nations issues and policies that affect First Nations people," @LindaBurneyMP told our #Activate4Uluru event on Gadigal land today. #HistoryIsCalling

[Jacquelin Plummer @JacqPlummer]

Great to hear from Minister Burney on the Uluru Statement from the Heart and how we will all walk taller after a successful referendum- #historyiscalling and we as a nation need to decide how we will respond #activateforuluru @FredHollows @MissionAust

Australia prosecutes and detains children as young as 10. All states and territories should raise the age of criminal responsibility in line with the global average of 14. #RaiseTheAge https://t.co/YczUnYEP0w

The Federal Government must urgently increase the base rate of income support payments, so they are sufficient and keep people out of poverty and homelessness, as well as increase Commonwealth Rent Assistance by at least 50 per cent

[Mission Australia @MissionAust]

Mission Australia acknowledges the $33 billion allocated to income support in the Budget over the forward estimates. However, this does nothing to adequately increase support to a level that keeps people out of poverty and homelessness. #OctBudget2022

[Mission Australia @MissionAust]

The Federal Government’s $560 million of additional funding for community services is a welcome first step in meeting the funding gap to deliver support to people in need, when they need it.

[Sharon Callister GAICD, MBA, BHA, RN @SharonCallister]

As a provider of homelessness services and a Community Housing Provider, @MissionAust welcomes the Federal Government’s plan for one million new homes as a strong commitment towards addressing housing affordability in Australia.
