From thought-provoking conversations to groundbreaking insights from our incredible guest speakers, ON Core 2025 was a powerhouse of inspiration and innovation.

We were privileged to host ON Core 2025 on the lands of the Traditional Custodians of Meanjin (Brisbane) and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. Our event was opened with a heartfelt Welcome to Country, honouring the deep history and ongoing cultural contributions of First Nations peoples.
