Unifying Our Communities: An Inspiring Conversation with Vicky Welgraven AM on TransformingNOWTogether

When I first met the amazing Vicky Welgraven AM, it was at a domestic violence awareness event which was featuring some of our dear friends Jess Hill and Rosie Batty. Vicky’s warm and engaging personality was an example of why she is impacting women and men in such a positive way….helping transform lives.

In this episode of TransformingNOWTogether – The Podast – Vicky shares her personal story and the steps that lead her to the career success she has had, and continues to do, in so many areas of society.

Vicky is a proud Adnyamathanha Woman from the Northern Flinders Ranges SA and has built an outstanding career as an advocate and champion for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, ensuring their interests are represented and their voices are heard.

Among her many accomplishments and achievements, she serves as a Board Director and Deputy Co-Chair on the Our Watch Board where she promotes gender equality and respectful relationships, and advocates for an end to Family and Domestic Violence.

It’s no secret that I love AFL football and it’s one of the many things Vicky and I share!
