The proposal would establish a Treaty Council (the Council) which replicates the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation established by the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation Act 1991 and was abolished in 2001. The Council would recommend the structure and form of a National Truth and Justice Commission (the Commission) to formally recognise historical wrongs and ongoing injustices towards First Nations peoples.

The proposal has 4 parts.

1. From 2022-23 to 2024-25, establish the Council. The Council would lead the development of a Treaty model through consultation, and the development of a model for the Commission.

2. In 2025‐26, establish the Commission outside the general government sector. The Commission would be provided $250 million in funding to begin proceedings in parallel with the Council until its expiration.

3. From 2025‐26 to 2027‐28, the Council would undertake community engagement on the proposed Treaty model and undertake the development of a Treaty/treaties.

4. From 2028‐29 to 2031-32, the Council would aim to secure the commitment and action of government, key organisations, and individuals, with a Treaty being established by 2032.

Funding for the Council would be indexed in accordance with growth in the consumer price index.

This Council would commence on 1 July 2022 and run for 10 years.
