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.

There is much said about talent shortages and the lack of skilled workers in Australia today, but so often we are not interested in looking in our own backyard to find these people. Too often we fail to learn from businesses that have made successful strides in tackling this conundrum.
