Australia's federal leaders will discuss the referendum to recognise indigenous people in the Australian constitution.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten will sit down in Sydney today for their first meeting since the election.
Mr Turnbull has said the government was committed to the change but acknowledged it would only be successful if the final proposal was bipartisan and worded in an uncontroversial way.
Mr Shorten has flagged support for a treaty with indigenous people, but Mr Turnbull has warned that may jeopardise the success of constitutional recognition.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion insists the government will consider a treaty if that was what indigenous people want.
Sydney protest over abuse
Protesters are preparing to march on NSW's Parliament House on Aboriginal Children's Day in a call for justice for children abused in Australian prisons.
The group, Grandmothers Against Removals, wants money spent on children's prisons and foster care redirected towards Aboriginal-controlled development and support programmes.
A royal commission into the Northern Territory's youth detention system was announced last week after footage emerged of boys being stripped naked, tear-gassed and held in solitary confinement at a Darwin detention centre.
On Saturday, thousands rallied across the country against the abuse of Aboriginal children.
Those involved in today's protest were expected to gather at noon at Sydney's Family Law Courts before marching on Parliament House.
