Carol is on the boards of Reserve Bank of Australia, Trawalla Group and Chair of EQT Holdings Limited, Climate Council, Trawalla Foundation and the Women’s Leadership Institute Australia 

 

She has previously been on the boards of Stockland, Bank of Melbourne, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Melbourne International Arts Board…….too many to name! 

 

Carol Schwartz has a diverse career across property, the arts, finance, investment, entrepreneurship, government and health. Carol has been recognised for her leadership via a range of honours including her 2019 appointment as an Officer of the Order of Australia, 2020 Leading Philanthropist Award by Philanthropy Australia, an Honorary Doctorate from Monash University, induction into the Australia Property Hall of Fame, and a Centenary Medal. Carol has been a passionate advocate for gender equality and women in leadership, and as, she has catalysed a range of initiatives to grow the critical mass of women in politics, business and the media. 

 

So it won’t surprise you to hear that Carol was also featured in the Broads on Boards Powerhouses chapter because, as you can tell, she is also, well a powerhouse! We’ll make sure we put a link to that episode, and the series, in the show notes.

This series explores the history of women on Boards in the place we now call Australia. So it’s fitting to kick off the discussion with an exploration of indigenous governance. So, today I’m speaking with Michelle Deshong about indigenous governance.


Michelle is a Kuku Yalanji women with extensive experience in the governance. She is currently Co-Chair of Supply Nation and Council member for AIATSIS. 

 

Michelle was awarded a Churchill Fellowship, in 2017, to 'research and apply best practice on Indigenous governance and leadership models'. Her study involved immersive visits to diverse First Nations communities and institutions. The primary objective was to investigate and analyze various leadership and governance models.


This research project uncovered a spectrum of self-government, sovereignty, and development approaches within these communities and provided insights into the potential adaptation and implementation of research findings and best practices within the Australian context. The research also included concepts of nation building, cultural governance, sovereignty, and identity, all of which were explored in detail within the report.  


Following the study, Michelle integrated key findings from the Fellowship into the work of the Australian Indigenous Governance Institute where she was CEO.  As you can hear, Michelle is an expert in first nations governance. In asking around who to speak to about this, everyone pointed me her way!
