Emeritus Professor Rosalind Croucher AM
Good evening. My name is Rosalind Croucher and I am the President of the Australian Human Rights Commission. I would like to pay my respects to the Gadigal people of the Eora nation whose lands we are meeting on today and on whose lands our offices of the Australian Human Rights Commission reside as well. I’d like to acknowledge their elders past and present and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who may be joining us here today—especially women.

This invitation combines two things I love: talking about leadership to women and tertiary education.
I can talk about such things for ever, and I will stick to my brief and my time, and look forward to your questions and whichever way they take us.
Starting with reflections on leadership.

Thank you Andreas for your generous introduction and for your inspired leadership of the WFE.
It is an honour and a privilege to be here this evening, addressing such a large group of influential leaders, key economic actors in your nations – leaders who cannot only influence but in many cases lead the corporate governance agenda.
I would like to begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet: the Gadigal people of the Eora nation and their Elders, past.
I also am very happy to acknowledge that we meet in the presence of one of our most revered Elders, Dame Marie Bashir.

The audit has provided an important opportunity to examine the progress of the ADF in implementing the recommendations. Overall, the ADF has made significant progress across a range of areas and is to be commended for its efforts. This Report identifies those areas, and also notes other areas where further cultural reform work can be undertaken. The Report also provides an update of the Australian Defence Force Academy’s further progress in implementing the recommendations from the Review into the Treatment of Women at ADFA.
