Stories of Success

Professor Mick Dodson regards Indigenous success as a key to reconciling Australia.

“These stories are very important for us because they provide a completely different picture of Indigenous people to what we normally hear or see reflected in mainstream Australia.

“My work on the Indigenous Governance Awards has changed my view of the world, changed my approach to what I do. It’s given me hope where I had little left.

“What Indigenous people are achieving and how they do what they do has come to inform everything I say and everything I stand for in promoting the wellbeing of my people.

“Success is now my guiding light as it must be for all Australians who want to see it replicated across the country"
