Event description

Swinburne University and the Moondani Toombadool Centre are pleased to invite you to attend the 2025 Swinburne Annual Barak Wonga Oration taking place on Tuesday 2 October at the Boroondara Arts Centre. This year's Oration will be delivered by Nerita Waight CEO, Victorian Aboriginal Legal Services (VALS).

Nerita Waight is a proud Yorta Yorta and Narrandjeri woman with Taungurung connections. She is CEO of VALS, and is an experienced solicitor with a demonstrated history of working in the legal and community services industry.

Prior to becoming CEO, Nerita had experience across several teams in the organisation including family and children’s law, as well as policy and advocacy. In 2017, Nerita established Balit Ngulu, a specialist legal service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young peoples.

Nerita will discuss 'A Path to a Just Justice System'. She will explore the history of Victoria's legal system, provide a clear overview of the current legislative and policy landscape and outline a proposed path forward, through Treaty, toward establishing a fair and equitable justice system for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Isander community.

Please join us for this in person event.
