COMING TO MELBOURNE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2024!


#AMPLIFYYOURVOICE

 

Melbourne welcomes the Indigenous Leadership Summit for the first time in 2024,
aligning with the spirit of the National NAIDOC Week theme: ‘Keep the Fire
Burning! Black, Loud & Proud’! This summit marks a significant milestone in our
ongoing effort to amplify First Nations Voices in Australian leadership.

This isn’t just about discussions – it’s about making real, impactful changes.
Drawing inspiration from Victoria’s rich cultural heritage and progressive
ethos, this event represents a pivotal moment in our journey towards bridging
generational divides.

While strides have been made in acknowledging Indigenous perspectives, there
remains a pressing need to translate this recognition into tangible results,
particularly in the realm of employment. The 2021 census clearly revealed a
pronounced employment gap between First Nations communities and other
Australians, underscoring the urgency of our mission.

 


ABOUT THE EVENT

The Indigenous Leadership Summit 2024 Melbourne is more than an event; it’s a
springboard for impactful change. This event unites Australia’s most influential
minds to engage in bold and transformative conversations. We will explore and
address the critical issues surrounding Indigenous careers, leadership
advancements, and integration across all sectors.

 

By bringing together CEOs, Indigenous Affairs experts, and esteemed First
Nations leaders, we are committed to forging concrete pathways for impactful
change. Our focus extends beyond employment – we are dedicated to driving
positive developments in education, health, and overall social well-being.

Join us in Melbourne, renowned for its spirit of inclusivity, as we
collaboratively shape a future that not only embraces but also elevates First
Nations leadership.

 

I look forward to seeing you there,

Post-Conference Workshop - 14th June
09:00 Achieving cultural capability & competency throughout your organisation
The economic participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
provides a real path to reconciliation – and also allows the strengthening of
ethical behaviour whilst working more effectively with Indigenous communities.

This half-day workshop will give organisations and individuals the skills to
strengthen ethical behaviour by developing an understanding of obligations and
responsibilities to Land and to each other - as Aboriginal people have practised
for thousands of years. You will build your cultural capability to work
effectively with members of the Aboriginal community and lead Aboriginal staff
with greater impact and empathy. Most importantly,you will improve retention of
Aboriginal staff, make sure your employers, supervisors, and workplaces
understand Aboriginal experience and what they can do to make Aboriginal
employment work.

13:30 Post-conference Workshop 2. Writing and developing an effective
Reconciliation Action Plan
Reconciliation Action Plans make a massive difference across all sectors in
Australian workplaces. RAPs are a powerful tool for advancing reconciliation in
Australia. RAP frameworks assist organisations to foster relationships between
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities, organisations, and
the broader Australian community, all the while embedding respect for the
world’s longest surviving culture. By developing a nationally recognised, tried
and tested model for workplaces to formalisecommitments to reconciliation, RAPs
help to foster a community of shared value, goals and a common language when it
comes to reconciliation. This half day workshop is for organisations at any
stage of RAP development, implementation or refinement. It will cover initial
development of ideas, activities or programs which align with your particular
business or brand and work to support Indigenous communities and people. It will
provide advice on all aspects of RAP development around the three pillars of
Respect, Relationships and Opportunities including Indigenous employment,
recruitment and retention, cultural protocols, developing partnerships and
sponsorships, establishing networks and engaging with Indigenous communities in
your organisation’s region and more broadly.

Key Learning Outcomes:
