Leadership 2025 brings together Australia's civil society leaders in the key moment post-Federal election to build a more fair and just future for all Australians. This dynamic gathering creates space for senior leaders to form meaningful connections, share strategic insights, and forge powerful alliances for change.
Over two days, we'll strengthen our collective impact by recognising that our issues are deeply interconnected—from gender equality to First Nations justice, climate action to housing affordability, economic justice to disability rights.
When we learn from each other and work together, we amplify our influence and create lasting change.
What's on the agenda:
Understanding our shared challenges: Examine the political landscape, global trends, and strategic opportunities to ensure community interests shape public policy over the next decade.
Building effective coalitions: Develop practical approaches to collaboration that respect different theories of change while maximising our collective power to win campaigns.
Protecting our voice: Develop concrete strategies to safeguard civil society's ability to advocate, ensuring community voices remain central in decision-making and public discourse.
The program features:
Thought-provoking keynotes from global and local thinkers who will challenge and inspire.
Strategic breakout sessions that tackle practical challenges facing our organisations and campaigns.
Cross-sector planning opportunities to align efforts and spark new projects.
Actionable commitments that translate connection into meaningful collaboration.
At Leadership 2025, we hope to create the space for honest conversation and strategic alignment. Our goal is that you'll leave with renewed purpose, practical tools, stronger relationships, and concrete plans to advance your work through collaborative action—exactly what we need in this critical moment for Australia's future.
