Victoria · volunteer with the campaign

There's a role for everyone on the path to Treaty.

Treaty in Victoria is real, and it's under attack. We're building a volunteer team across the state — people having conversations, hosting events and making support for Treaty impossible to ignore.

See what volunteers do

Takes about three minutes. No experience needed — we train you.

Victorian state election
 
days to go

Saturday 28 November. The Opposition has promised to tear up Treaty. Every conversation between now and then counts.

Three ways in

Pick the thing that sounds like you.

You choose the tasks, not a roster. Do one thing this month or ten — both help.

Conversation organiser

The heart of the campaign. Doorknock a street near you, or make calls from home with a group on the line.

  • A two-hour training call before your first shift
  • Never alone — you're paired for your first doorknock
  • Script, map and answers to the hard questions provided
One shift = one afternoonTraining provided

Event host

Gather people where you already are — a lounge room, a footy club, a workplace lunchroom, a church hall.

  • Run sheet, slides and a First Nations speaker where we can
  • We promote it and help you fill the room
  • Ten people in a lounge room is a real event
One event, start to finishKit provided

Poster and visibility crew

Make support for Treaty visible: windows, noticeboards, shopfronts, suburban main streets, festival stalls.

  • Posters and corflutes posted to you, or print your own
  • Claim a street or a strip so we don't double up
  • Great first step if you're not ready to talk to strangers yet

“The path to Treaty is about how we mend the very fabric of our society. We want everyone to walk side-by-side with us.”
Aunty Jackie · Common Threads

Come and meet us first

You don't have to sign up to turn up. Come to something and see what it's like.

Nothing listed just now. Check the events page — new things go up most weeks.

The honest answers

The things people actually ask before they say yes.

No. The briefing takes twenty minutes to read and the training covers the rest. Most conversations are about listening, not lecturing.

Yes. This is a First Nations-led campaign, and allies talking to other non-Indigenous people is exactly the work that is needed.

You end the conversation and move on — always. We train for it, you're never doorknocking alone, and an organiser is on the phone during every shift.

We ask for tasks, not hours. Take one thing, see how it feels, take another if you want to.

Take one street.

Sign up now and you'll have your starter kit before you close this tab.
