What our clients say
The Summit was an educational experience that gave real context to the ideas and practices that are encountered within our work to better help engage and motivate each other in all the methods to close the gap. Deep listening and 2-way learning are what gripped me most and will have a lasting impact on my approach moving forward. 
It was an excellent opportunity to hear from leaders in the sector, and to hear First Nations people giving their views and perspectives. This is often missed in my role and I really appreciated the opportunity to listen to First Nations people having difficult conversations in such an empowering setting.
This conference enhanced my understanding of the complex, systemic barriers at every level of government. It helped me to understand the impact that well intentioned policy with no accountability has on the lives of Indigenous Australians across the country.
The Indigenous empowerment summit was really empowering event for a non-Indigenous person like me! Opens our eyes to the resilience of Indigenous communities around us!!
The Forum was seamlessly run and the content was all relevant. I especially enjoyed hearing the inspirational stories from Indigenous and allied businesses who have managed to integrate culture into their business for economic, social, cultural and environmental outcomes.
