In 2022, legislation to establish an Indigenous Treaty Authority was passed in Victoria.

We invite you to this year’s Law and You Forum where we’ll bring together a panel of experts to explore the process and progress of reconciliation in Victoria including different elements of the pathway to Victorian treaty.

Panelists will explain the recent legislation, the impact of the structures behind the treaty process, and the path to broader national reconciliation.
