Former Yoorrook commissioner Travis Lovett has been appointed the inaugural Executive Director of the University of Melbourne's new Centre for Truth Telling and Dialogue.
In his new role, he will lead the University's flagship Truth-telling and Justice initiative — one of five priority areas in Murmuk Djerring, the University's Indigenous Strategy (2023–2027).
The Centre will officially open in 2026, with Mr Lovett overseeing its establishment. It will focus on partnerships, community engagement, and research and education programs addressing historical and ongoing injustices.
"I step into this role with a clear mandate: to ensure that First Peoples' voices are not just heard, but centred, respected, and structurally embedded in how we teach, govern, and lead," Mr Lovett said.
