The panel, to be comprised by Indigenous leaders, Members of Parliament, constitutional law experts and members of the broader Australian community, would provide options on the form of the amendment to the constitution and guidance on the information needed for public discussion following broad consultation.

The Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition would jointly determine the terms of reference and membership panel.
