𝕀𝕟𝕥𝕣𝕠𝕕𝕦𝕔𝕚𝕟𝕘 the first of our keynote speakers for the Great Southern Aboriginal Leadership Conference, Laurence Riley 🎤

🌿 Laurence is a proud Noongar man who works for his community as Assistant Ombudsman for Aboriginal Engagement and Collaboration.

Laurence's roots are deeply embedded in Wilman Country, hailing from Narrogin 🥾 With a rich and diverse ethnic background, Laurence is connected to various regions across WA. However, it's his Noongar heritage that resonates most profoundly 🟥⬛️🟨

Over the past two decades, his experience has spanned education, health, social and emotional well-being, mental health, justice, housing, employment, and corrective services 📚⚖️

When Laurence took on his current role, he became the very first Aboriginal person in the fifty-year history of the Western Australian Ombudsman's office to serve as a Corporate Executive member. He provides strategic leadership and high-level guidance to support the Ombudsman in all endeavours, but his focus remains on delivering exceptional services to Aboriginal Western Australians.

🌎 What truly sets Laurence apart is his unwavering passion for social justice, equity, and better access to services. He's a tireless advocate for Aboriginal people, working for change in our communities and systems, striving to ensure inclusivity, growth, and improvements in services and programs for all Aboriginal people 🌱

Laurence firmly believes that the only way we can progress as a community is by acknowledging our shared history and responding to it proactively 🙌🏾

We're beyond thrilled to have Laurence Riley as one of our keynote speakers! Get ready for an inspirational conference … stay tuned for updates 📢👏
