The movement is supported by an annual ChangeFest Gathering that brings the movement together to share, learn, reflect and celebrate the progress being made for thriving and equitable communities that center First Nations leadership.
Since 2018, nearly 2000 people from across Australia have come together for ChangeFest Gatherings. They have made new connections, shared knowledge and stories, strengthened their collaborative efforts and demonstrated the power of community led systems change.
