This NAIDOC Week 2025, we’re joined by Lesley Woodhouse from Wingaru Education for a powerful conversation about Aboriginal education and how we can move beyond token gestures to genuine, daily inclusion. Lesley shares insights on culturally authentic resources, the importance of professional learning, and practical steps educators and organisations can take to ensure Aboriginal perspectives are embedded meaningfully into our programs.

Whether you’re an educator, leader, or simply passionate about reconciliation, this episode will inspire you to make every week one of respect, learning, and belonging.
