Transforming Systems Forum

This October, join systems thinkers, doers, and funders to explore the transformations Australia needs for a brighter, fairer future—and how we can make them possible. 

More than a conference, the Transforming Systems Forum is a space for collective inquiry, where communities, non-profits, government, and philanthropy come together for open dialogue and meaningful connection. 

Two years after the inaugural Forum, we return for three days of inquiry, dialogue, and practical tools—focused on three key questions about community strength and collective leadership as the foundation for a thriving, equitable democracy. 

Co-hosted by Collaboration for Impact and Menzies Foundation, with long-time friend and international systems leader Mark Cabaj, we invite you into deep and practical explorations of this shared work across communities and institutions. 

Why Attend? 

• Why does your work need to be part of this inquiry? Engage with peers and partners from across Australia’s systems change landscape, alongside international systems leader Mark Cabaj, on the biggest opportunities for transformation. 

• Which transformations matter most to you and how can we accelerate them together? Choose the convening most relevant to your context, or join all three days for the full experience. 

• What insights can only emerge in dialogue across difference? Be part of a diverse collective shaping systemic approaches to resilient and connected communities, equitable democracy, and leadership. 

• How can your sector whether that be philanthropy, government, community, business contribute to lasting change? Share insights, reflections and pathways with peers committed to systems transformation.
