In this interview Kooyoora CEO Fiona Boyle speaks with Indigenous Anglican Bishop, Bishop Chris Macleod about reconciliation in practice, and the role leadership, accountability and respect play in building safe organisational cultures.

We speak with Gabby Hunt about her research into safeguarding practices within Australian faith-based organisations. Gabby’s research paper, "Just tick the box and move on": Australian Christian religious leaders reflect on safeguarding practices in their settings, examines how safeguarding is understood, operationalised, and embedded into the policies and practices of religious organisations. In this interview, Gabby shares insights from her research that are directly relevant for organisations like Kooyoora, reflecting on the barriers leaders face, the cultural shifts needed for authentic safeguarding, and the practices that can help faith-based communities embed child safety at the core of their mission.
