Ms Kiss commenced in her role on 3 April 2024. She has since embarked on a national tour to hear from First Nations people about how to move forward after the Voice referendum; how to progress and utilise mechanisms to realise Indigenous rights; what issues are most urgently in need of attention; and what expectations First Nations people have of the Social Justice Commissioner role. Members of the Indigenous community are invited to join the discussion at the Coffs Harbour Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC) at the corner of Pacific Highway and Arthur St, Coffs Harbour on Tuesday 21 January at 11:30am-3:00pm.
