Powerful to connect with colleagues at the World Indigenous Peoples' Conference on Education (WIPCE) 2025 in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa.

Our First Nations Advisor Nadene Edmonds is representing RACMA, pictured here with Dr Natasha Martin and Dr Jonathan Newchurch from Warra Wangkatitya. Jonathan also serves as Chief Executive of Australian Indigenous Doctors' Association.

WIPCE brings together Indigenous educators, leaders and knowledge keepers from around the globe in a powerful celebration of Indigenous excellence in education. For 37 years, this gathering has honoured the vital role of Indigenous knowledge and cultural practice in shaping how we understand and transform our world.

"For indigenous peoples, we need to survive the system and we want it to do better - despite what we continue to experience," Nadene says.

"Much is asked of each generation - WIPCE every three years gives us places and spaces to share intergenerational knowledges, experiences and joys."

These connections and shared learnings strengthen our commitment to Indigenous leadership in health.
