We support the ‘yes’ vote on 14 October 2023. SPCHG operates from inner South Melbourne and as an organisation, we acknowledge the peoples of the Kulin nation, the Traditional Owners of this land. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present. We acknowledge that we operate on unceded land which always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land. As a community housing and youth homelessness support service assisting vulnerable people in our community, we believe that First Nations peoples are unacceptably over-represented among those who experience homelessness. Asserting the Voice to Parliament will enable self-determination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, providing opportunities to inform policy and legal decisions that directly impact their communities.
