South Australia's First Nations Voice is a representative, legislatively created elected body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the state.

The Voice is made up of 2 levels – 6 Local First Nations Voices and a State Voice.

Through the Voice, First Nations people can have their say at the highest levels of decision-making in South Australia on matters, policies and laws that affect them.

The First Nations Voice to Parliament is supported by the First Nations Voice Secretariat, located within the Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation division of the Attorney-General's Department.

About the First Nations Voice

Dale Agius was South Australia's Commissioner for First Nations Voice and led consultations with Aboriginal groups to lay the foundations for a First Nations Voice to Parliament.

After several rounds of consultation, the South Australian Parliament passed the First Nations Voice Bill 2023 in a special sitting on Sunday 26 March 2023. This formally established the Voice in South Australia.

More than 110 candidates nominated for the First Nations Voice across the state and the inaugural First Nations Voice election was held on Saturday 16 March 2024. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in South Australia were able to vote for their Local First Nations Voice representative.
