SIMNA is a growing network of members and interested individuals who believe that understanding and measuring social impact is critical to achieving the best possible outcomes for all Australians, our communities and our environment.
About this webinar
Join the SIMNA Western Sydney Committee on Wednesday, 24 November 2021 for a one-on-one conversation with SNAICC National Voice for our Children, a national non-government peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

Our guest speakers will discuss important issues such as embracing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge and worldviews, data sovereignty and working with non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners.
The webinar will also include a Q&A session with participants.
