NSW Treaty Commission Conversation: Toomelah
2026-04-13 13:00 - 15:00 | Toomelah Public School, Bogabilla
The NSW Treaty Commission is heading to Wyong, Newcastle and Umina, and Aboriginal communities across NSW are invited to be part of the conversation. Bring the mob, share your thoughts, and grab a feed.
A conversation led by Aboriginal people, for Aboriginal people
Aboriginal communities across NSW are being invited to take part in a statewide conversation about whether a Treaty or another kind of formal agreement is wanted, and what that could look like.
This is not the start of a Treaty. It is the start of a conversation — one that belongs to Aboriginal people across NSW.
What This Conversation Is About
The NSW Treaty Commission has been asked to listen to Aboriginal people across the State and report back on two key questions:

Do Aboriginal people want a Treaty or another kind of formal agreement in NSW?
If so, what should that agreement include?

There is no decision already made. The answers to these questions will come directly from Aboriginal communities.
What’s Happening Now
Over 12 months, the NSW Treaty Commission is travelling across NSW to listen to Aboriginal people — in cities, towns, regional centres and remote communities.
This process is independent of government and shaped by what communities choose to share.

Event delivered by LGBTIQ+ Health Australia. The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission presents on the Commission’s role, the grounds the older people or the representatives can bring complaints, how it approaches complaints, and information it can share on the issues and complaints relating to LGBTI people’s experience.
This discussion will include reflections on what the Commission sees as priority issues in realising the rights of LGBTI older people, what the collected data reveals about the experiences of LGBTI older people, and future planned LGBTI-related data collection.
Following the presentation, members of LHA’s Silver Pride Advocacy Network, Living Experience Advocacy Panel will provide reflections grounded in lived experience. Their insights will open space for a broader discussion on what services, systems, and policies must do to ensure dignity, safety, and inclusion for LGBTI+ people in aged care.
