THE Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has endorsed the historic 'Uluru Statement from the Heart', which calls for a First Nations Voice to be enshrined in the Constitution and for a Makarrata Commission as a process for agreement making and truth telling.
PSA National President Dr Chris Freeman said PSA was proud to add its voice to the call for recognition of the First Peoples of Australia in the Constitution.
"PSA is committed to ongoing work to support the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
"We are proud to add our voice to this movement for a better future.
"As the peak national body for pharmacists, PSA has long advocated for closing the gap by supporting pharmacists to play an active role in improving medication management for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people," Freeman concluded.
