Meaningful change requires more than symbolic gestures—it calls for structural reform, shared responsibility, and co-created accountability. This session spotlights how Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders are dismantling barriers through co-creating governance and policy frameworks that move organisations and systems forward.

• What are organisations doing to shift token representation to meaningful recognition, influence, and authority at all levels?

• How can proactive allyship, listening, and education drive workplace and policy transformation on systemic issues including lateral violence, racism, and microaggressions?

• Addressing the cultural load: How are Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders becoming active partners in driving collective change?
