While COVID-19 will be remembered in history as a turning point in how we think about our communities, jobs, way of life and the , social upheaval is not foreign to the land we now call Australia. Australia’s LEARNING FROM THE PAST colonial history has had profound effects on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, but we are now fortunate enough to be able to learn from the world’s oldest surviving cultures and be guided by these communities to ensure strong Aboriginal and self-determination. What can we learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities’ resilience, governance and ways of life to inform future policies governing Aboriginal affairs? What does Aboriginal self-determination mean for First Nations communities, governments and other allies? How can change be seized as an opportunity to advocate for progress and what is our role as public sector employees in this space? Elly Patira, Director of Treaty and Aboriginal Affairs Policy branches in the Victorian Department of Premier and Cabinet, and co- lead of the Victorian Aboriginal COVID-19 Taskforce kicks off YIPAA’s Masterclass series with a truthful and inspiring reflection on Aboriginal affairs including Treaty, COVID-19 and other changes to the sector.
