We pay respect to the traditional custodians of the lands we live, work and walk upon, and to all Elders past and present, as we seek to support Indigenous peoples in their struggle to achieve authentic equity.

Advance to authentic equity and inclusion

We provide training, coaching and consultancy services to corporate entities, public, and NGO sectors to facilitate their transition from “diversity management” to authentic racial equity.

The end goal is to enable people of all races to achieve at their highest levels and live their most empowered lives.

About Us

The Courageous Conversation® Protocol transforms beliefs, behaviours and results. It enables people to engage in a conversation about race that is positive, connected and uplifting, calling people into the conversation, rather than calling them out.

These are turbulent times and we are all impacted. It is more pressing than ever to keep moving toward an inclusive and equitable Australia for everyone.

Why Choose Us?
"Purpose has been working with the Courageous Conversation team across the world for the past 4 years. In the US and Europe, they have played an integral role in shifting the way we as a team understand issues of race, and given us the tools to explore how race plays out in Purpose and through our work. When we launched in Australia there was no one else we would have gone to. The South Pacific team expertly guided us through these challenging sessions. I can't recommend them enough."
Simon Goff, Partner and Global Managing Director, Purpose Australia
"Courageous Conversations provides a powerful methodology for understanding the complexity of race. The program is based around your own experiences so you must look within to develop a way of approaching conversations around race and racism. The program provides an essential framework to have these conversations, enabling you to navigate some of the difficulties these conversations can engender. The program facilitators are engaging and energetic and it’s the type of program that resonates in your mind long after completing the training. "
Michael van Vliet, Chair, Multicultural Arts Victoria
"The Courageous Conversation program cleverly invites us to do things differently, bringing to our attention the question of how race features in our day-to-day lives. Introducing ourselves not just by name but adding what we considered to be our place and our intention was the starting point of this program. The tools they provide helped us to come to a clearer understanding of how to have the tough conversations in a respectful way. Finally, checking our consciousness on the impact of colour and culture was a real eye-opener. Highly recommended."
Assoc. Professor Fiona Henderson, Victoria University
"The Courageous Conversation about Race program has made a significant contribution to my racial equity learning in both my professional and personal life. It was a true racial consciousness awakening. It has led me on a path of unlearning, inquiry, reflection, allyship and action. I continue to engage, sustain and deepen my commitment to racial equity."
Roman Ruzbacky, President Equal Employment Opportunity Network (EEON)
"The Courageous Conversation Beyond Diversity training has been an incredibly valuable tool for our team. Intersect Global Partners and Courageous Conversation South Pacific Institute provided a safe environment and exceptional care that encouraged meaningful participation and exploration of how we engage in conversations on race both within the workplace and our personal life. As a leading cultural institution in Australia, we know that we play a critical role in creating a more inclusive and equitable arts industry and the Courageous Conversation tools support our ability to achieve this. I recommend this training program for any organisation working towards equity."
Dilhani Rebera, Director Cultural Equity & Inclusion Arts Centre Melbourne

We acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations were the First Sovereign Nations on the continent of Australia, and that this sovereignty has never been ceded.

We understand Sovereignty as a spiritual notion that recognises the unbroken ancestral tie between these lands, oceans and waters and the peoples of one of the oldest living cultures in the world, a 60,000-year history, acknowledged by contemporary science.
