Indigenous leaders expect to take six months of consultations to sort the modelling for an advisory body on the Voice to Parliament, should Australia vote yes on the referendum.

The proposal would then go to a parliamentary committee before legislation establishing the Voice is proposed, where it might not be operational until after the next federal election.
