While eyes remain fixed on the parties and politicians the governance body at one of the country's leading educational institutions has "unreservedly" backed the Voice to Parliament.
On Tuesday the Australian National University council announced their support for enshrining constitutional recognition of First Peoples.
"With an historic referendum to enact this call planned for 2023, The Australian National University Council unreservedly supports enshrining an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice in the Constitution, recognising its alignment with the University's national mission," the University said in a statement.
"The Council acknowledges that differing views exist within the University community and that the University is a place where respectful informed debate and freedom of expression are actively encouraged."
The council acknowledged the work and guidance on the matter provided by the University's academic board.
The resolute stance comes after council members met on Friday.
In addition, ANU's First Nations Portfolio, a branch of the university's executive, has released an extensive document on the issue.
Professor Brian Schmidt said it has been produced to "guide Australians through some of the common concerns about the Voice".
Professor Schmidt flagged his support for the Voice and encouraged an informed judgement for casting a vote.
"Like our Council, I acknowledge the ANU community has a diversity of views on how to vote in the forthcoming referendum on the Voice. As I've said before, my personal view is that establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament and enshrining it in the Constitution is a positive step for our nation," he said.
"The clear endorsement from our Council and my own personal views are not an expectation that our staff and students will vote in a particular way or actively advocate for a yes vote.
"Rather, I encourage every member of our community to engage with the referendum from an informed position. Please ensure that all conversations are respectful, and do not assume any student or staff member has a particular point of view.
"ANU will do what it always does when our nation faces a critical decision. We will lead and facilitate a balanced and informed national conversation, bringing our expertise to bear on complex issues and helping guide Australia through."
Professor Schmidt went on to acknowledge the position of First Nations people, particularly staff and students, as nationwide conversations continue.
"Please also bear in mind this might be a difficult time for Indigenous staff and students and I urge non-Indigenous people not to lean on our Indigenous staff and students for information and support when there are other sources to help you inform yourself. "
