Centre for Muslim Wellbeing (CMW) strongly supports voting yes to the upcoming national vote in enshrining an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice (The Voice) in the Australian Constitution.
In 2017, through the Uluru Statement from the Heart, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples asked Australians to walk with them toward a better future by enshrining The Voice in the Constitution. The Voice is a way for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to directly advise all levels of government about laws and policies that affect their lives.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have faced disparities in education, healthcare, employment, and other critical areas for decades. The Voice is a step toward addressing these disparities and promoting social equity. It’s about drawing a line on the poor outcomes from the long legacy of failed programs and broken policies and listening to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It represents a commitment to justice, respect, and collaboration between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the rest of the nation.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and Muslims have a shared history of respectful relations. We believe this vote can make a big difference by supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, we contribute to the health, well-being, and prosperity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, which, in turn, benefits the broader Australian society.
The Voice referendum is a critical moment in our history. The outcome of the referendum will have significant implications for the future of every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
This is a time to listen, a moment to show empathy.
CMW stands with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and strongly supports voting Yes.

“Shine a Light” is a compelling and eye-opening documentary that delves into the complex intersection of mental health and the Muslim community. This thought-provoking film sheds light on the unique challenges, stigma, and resilience experienced by Muslims in Australia as they navigate the often-taboo topic of mental well-being.
The narrative follows the journeys of several individuals in Australia with lived experience of Mental Ill Health. Through intimate interviews, viewers gain insight into the struggles these individuals have faced and the ways they have sought help, both within and outside their communities.
The documentary also features interviews with mental health professionals who provide expert insights and guidance as well as culturally sensitive approaches to mental health support.
The documentary is a collaboration between CMW and Black Syndicate Media. ... See MoreSee Less
