Join us as we celebrate Human Rights Month this December–a virtual lunch with Adjunct Professor Sandra Creamer AM and seasoned practitioner Neville Hoehne.
Many organisations aim to create meaningful relationships with First Nations peoples through respected community organisations, First Nations-led businesses, Prescribed Body Corporates (PBCs), or with local Custodians or Elders.
In our final event for 2022, Sandra and Neville will help us understand guiding principles and practical steps in building partnerships with First Nations communities. They will also share their reflections on the role of employers in advancing the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the Queensland Path to Treaty.
We’ll explore the importance of understanding the effects of history, listening to improve practices, and cultural safety.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion practitioners
Reconciliation Action Plan sponsors and working group members
Community Engagement professionals
Leaders sponsoring, supporting or participating in activities with First Nations communities
