National Changemaker Gathering - Helping Regional Communities Prepare for Drought Initiative
Keep the Momentum Going – Build on Your Changemaker Journey
You left your Changemaker Workshop inspired and ready to take action. But sustaining momentum can be challenging—without the right support, ideas can stall, networks can weaken, and the impact you envisioned may feel out of reach.
You’re not alone in this. Many changemakers face resistance to change in their communities, struggle with engaging others, or aren’t sure how to scale their impact. It can be frustrating to feel like the responsibility for progress rests solely on your shoulders.
What if there was a way to reconnect, re-energise, and gain the tools you need to keep making a difference?
The National Changemaker Gathering is your opportunity to come together with changemakers from across Australia, share your journey, and learn from leading facilitators.
24-27 June 2025, Cairns, QLD
Reconnect with fellow changemakers and build a powerful support network
Bring your community’s story to the national stage and learn from others
Gain practical skills in working with “stuck” systems, leading conversations, and storytelling for impact
Map out the national changemaker network and explore new opportunities for collaboration
