Our discussions will delve into the heart of Indigenous careers, leadership opportunities, and integration across various sectors. We aim to translate recognition into real-world outcomes, impacting not only employment but also education, health, and social well-being.

Together, we can elevate First Nations leadership and create lasting change. Be part of this journey. Voice Your Vision, Lead with Purpose.

The Leadership Institute

In the ongoing 'climate wars', the Great Barrier Reef has become a symbol of everything that we have to lose from global warming. For years, reports of the world-famous coral being irreversibly bleached have fuelled an ideological battle between those fighting to stop the damage and those who insist the danger is overblown.

Paul Hardisty found himself in the middle of this fight during his six years as CEO of the Australian Institute of Marine Science. In this fascinating, candid and urgent book, he dives into the history of the reef and cuts through the rhetoric to chart the circumstances and acceleration of its decline, as well as the determined efforts to save it.

Join Dr Paul E Hardisty, in conversation with Paul Gamblin, for this special event.
