AMCS supports a First Nations Voice to Parliament

AMCS supports writing ‘Yes’ to the Voice

We believe that the Voice is a moment for Australia to come together, to actively listen and learn from First Nations and walk together for a better and fairer society. Decisions about the protection of our coasts, oceans and shared natural heritage are better when made together.

> Some examples of our work
  • We are working alongside Nyinggulu Traditional Owners for the health of Nyinggulu thanardi ngarrari (Ningaloo Land and Sea Country).
  • We were proud to enable a delegation of three Traditional Owners from the Gulf of Carpentaria to participate in important discussions at the International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC5) in Vancouver in February 2023
  • In 2021 we began an exciting partnership with the Northern Land Council’s Malak Malak Rangers, and Charles Darwin University (CDU) to support a long-running and unique program to locate and rescue Critically Endangered juvenile largetooth sawfish in the Northern Territory.
