This year the gala dinner is supporting the KARI Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting and empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to access the resources, support and opportunities to help reach their full potential. The foundation provides a range of services and programs that are designed to address the unique needs and challenges faced by Indigenous communities.
