Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Katie Kiss (she/her) is conducting a national listening tour to meet directly with First Nations communities to hear their perspectives on the key social justice issues that affect them. 

This extensive consultation will form the basis of a discussion paper, contributing to the Social Justice Report, and will shape the next steps in the collective efforts toward true reconciliation and equality. 

Commissioner Kiss will share her agenda for ensuring First Nations’ voices are heard and their rights are respected, especially in light of the outcome of the 2023 Voice Referendum. By centring the voices of First Nations communities we will get the answers on what is needed to create a better 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:

– Shelley Cable (she/her), Head of First Nations Strategy, Australia at ANZ

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

– Katie Kiss (she/her), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner, Australian Human Rights Commission.
