The proposal would establish a legislated framework to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) into federal law, co-designed with First Nations communities and stakeholders, in line with the findings of the Inquiry into the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

The proposal would also provide the Australian Human Rights Commission with independent oversight powers and ongoing funding to monitor and enforce the implementation of UNDRIP principles.

The proposal would start on 1 July 2025.
