what do you want to know? it hasn't happened yet so we don't know what the precise outcome will be.

constitutionally what is accomplishes is enshrining in the constitution a body called the voice which has the right to address Parliament on matters relating to aboriginal and Torres straight islander people.

what this stops governments doing is disbanding advisory councils etc which they have done repeatedly.

The statement from the heart (https://ulurustatement.org/the-statement/view-the-statement/) specifically requests it. you can read about what they hope it to accomplish here: https://ulurustatement.org/the-voice/what-is-the-voice/

What have you googled and found unsatisfactory?
