📅 Date: Wednesday March 18 2026
⏰ Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm AEDT
💻 Recording available for 7 days
Join our live, interactive webinar for workplaces and Allies who want to better understand Closing the Gap and contribute in ways that genuinely strengthen cultural safety.
Led by Aunty Munya Andrews (Aboriginal Elder) and Carla Rogers (Co-Director and Ally), this session moves beyond statistics, overwhelm and fear of getting it wrong into grounded understanding and practical next steps. We’ll explore what Closing the Gap is (and isn’t), what the current landscape is telling us, and how Allies can take action that is informed, respectful and sustainable.
This session is especially helpful if you’re asking:
- What is Closing the Gap actually, and what’s my role in it?
- How do I talk about this at work without getting it wrong?
- What helps, and what harms, when supporting First Nations colleagues and communities?
- How do I take action without burnout, guilt or shutdown?
What you’ll learn and experience:
- Understand Closing the Gap: Get clear on the targets, intent and why outcomes are still uneven, and what’s shifting in the national conversation.
- Flip the narrative: Explore the gap in our understanding, how misinformation and misunderstanding contribute to the gap, and what Allies can do differently.
- Learn what works: A strength-based lens on solutions, including why community-led approaches matter and what effective reform looks like in practice.
- Take confident ally action: Practical tools, language and boundaries to support cultural safety, reduce cultural load and keep your contribution sustainable.
- Live Q&A: Have your questions answered by Aunty Munya and Carla throughout the session, with an optional extended Q&A for those who want to go deeper.
- 7-Day Recording Access: A link to the playback will be sent to all ticket holders.
This session offers clarity, context and practical ally action in a complex space. You will leave better informed, more confident, and clearer about how to contribute in ways that genuinely help.
There will be no judgement, shame, or blame - just an open, welcoming space where you will leave feeling uplifted, inspired, and empowered to take action.
“Powerful, refreshingly practical and honest - the best D&I webinar I’ve attended. You created a safe, no blame, no shame space that moved me to be an active ally.”

“A true booster shot for allyship—I left with clear language to interrupt racism respectfully, real examples, and the confidence to ‘step up and stand beside.’”
