About Presenters: Aunty Munya and Carla Rogers
Our Leaders together bring unique and deep experience and model Reconciliation and Allyship. Aboriginal Elder, Aunty Munya Andrews - an author, barrister and cultural expert with lived experience of Indigenous disadvantage, and Carla Rogers a non-Indigenous facilitator, learning designer and engagement expert. They have combined these skills and perspectives to design simple, practical and relevant approaches for all Australians.

Aunty Munya, a Bardi woman originally from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, has wide-ranging experience in Indigenous matters, community empowerment and the law. Steeped in Aboriginal cultural laws and traditions, she is a strong advocate of culturally appropriate ways of working with Aboriginal people and their communities. Renowned for her intellectual prowess and sharp mind, she is forwarded by Melbourne University as a ‘leading Australian thinker’. Carla is one of the most experienced providers of facilitation, stakeholder and community engagement services in Australia and has developed unique and award winning approaches to both engagement and facilitation.

Both Aunty Munya and Carla have held senior executive positions in government, have won significant awards and have had their work cited as best practice (e.g. Guidelines for Australian Indigenous Protected Area Management Plans, CSIRO.) Awards include a Churchill Fellowship, International Award for Innovation in Public Participation (IAP2) and National Planning Excellence Award (Planning Institute of Australia).
