ChangeFest 2019 was a four-day event focused on place-based change and community-led initiatives. It brought together over 550 participants from across Australia to learn, collaborate, and develop solutions for systemic change, with a strong emphasis on First Nations leadership and community engagement.
ChangeFest acknowledges all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Traditional Custodians of Country and recognises their continuing connection to land, sea, culture and community. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website contains images, voices and names of deceased persons.
