The party applied for registration with Elections ACT on 10 July 2024 and was registered 20 days later on 30 July in order to contest the 2024 ACT election.^[3][4]

House, the son of elder and activist Matilda House and a prominent spokesman for the Ngambri people,^[5][6] was partly inspired to register a party in the Australian Capital Territory because it was the only state or territory where a majority voted "Yes" in the 2023 Australian Indigenous Voice referendum.^[7]
