Closing the Gap webinar

In March 2022, former Secretary, Georgina Harrison, Group Deputy Secretary, Simone Walker, and Community Engagement Officer (CEO) for NSW AECG, Bianca Ella, came together for a webinar to discuss the importance of Closing the Gap.

They were joined by a panel of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to talk about the impact that we are having on the education system and the lives of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
