The National Summit is an outcome of the Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women’s Voices) project, led by Commissioner June Oscar AO, in partnership with the National Indigenous Australians Agency. It is the first ever national gathering of its kind. 

The Summit is a once-in-a-generation platform for agreement-making where First Nations women will come together, raise their collective voice, and determine the way ahead. It will be a space for showcasing and decision-making with multisectoral stakeholders from governments, academia, business and more. At the Summit, serious commitments and lasting relationships will be formed across these diverse sectors to invest in the vital work identified through Wiyi Yani U Thangani, guaranteeing it is made real and drives systemic change over the long-term. 

First Nations women and girls' voices are vital to paving the way for a future that all Australians deserve and have a right to.
