Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Katie Kiss (she/her) is currently conducting a national listening tour to inform the agenda for her term. This extensive consultation will inform the Commissioner’s Social Justice Report for 2025. 

The Commissioner will share her provisional agenda and what she has been hearing from First Nations people in response to these priorities.

A clear and consistent theme the Commissioner is hearing around the country is the critical importance of truth-telling to moving forward after last year’s referendum outcome, and its indispensability to shaping a First Nations national agenda which delivers a fair and just future.
 

Following the Commissioner’s address, Kate Russell (she/her), CEO of Supply Nation, will lead a discussion on:

– how truth-telling recognises past and current injustices to inform a better future for our nation

– steps to promote and protect the rights of First Nations Peoples

– solutions to support and empower First Nations communities

– centring First Nations voices to ensure these perspectives are the foundation for true reconciliation. 

Our guest panel includes:

– Travis Lovett, Deputy Chair and Commissioner of the Yoorrook Justice Commission
