The Advancing the Treaty Process with Aboriginal Victorians Act 2018 is Australia's first ever treaty law.
The Act is the result of the work of over 7,000 Aboriginal Victorians who have worked with government to progress Treaty over the past 2 years.
The Act reflects the intent to help improve the lives of Aboriginal Victorians, and the lives of future generations.
This is another step on the significant journey toward treaty or treaties in Victoria.
Treaty is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the unique status, rights, cultures and histories of Aboriginal Victorians. It's an opportunity to address wrongs and redefine relationships between Government and community.
