While working across a diverse range of workplaces and projects, a common thread is Alex’s belief in listening to First Nations people and advocating to non-Indigenous people of the need for truth-telling and action around reconciliation in Australia. Alex firmly believes that without those who have come before, we wouldn’t be able to have the conversations we are having today. The work of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous Australians has laid the foundation for the next generation to move forward together.
