The description of NIAA's operations suggests:

We work with a broad range of stakeholders across the Commonwealth, state and territory governments and the business sector, and partner with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and leaders. We work across the Commonwealth Government to strengthen outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, supporting them to identify and implement approaches that provide culturally appropriate and accessible services that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities can access.

Working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is central to the NIAA's work—it enriches our advice to government, informs decision making, and contributes to better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Can you please explain how this differs from what the Voice is proposing do?
