Treaty, It’s Here
In 2025, we negotiated and signed Australia’s first Treaty between First Peoples in Victoria and the Victorian Government.
After nearly a decade walking the path to Treaty with our communities, and generations of resistance and activism from First Peoples, Australia’s first Treaty is here.
This is a chance for all Victorians to acknowledge our shared past, heal and move forward together.
