Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Evolution of For-Purpose Organisations in Australia (with Sarah Davies, Chair, ACNC Advisory Board)
Q: What's been your observation as you've seen the governance landscape evolve in the sector?
Davies describes rising and more diverse expectations for boards, including regulatory, stakeholder, purpose and digital literacy demands. These pressures can deter directors, while small volunteer-run organisations struggle with compliance, financial viability and finding board members. She raises whether governance requirements should be better suited to different organisations and purposes.
The Evolution of For-Purpose Organisations in Australia (with Sarah Davies, Chair, ACNC Advisory Board)
Q: Do you think as a society, we've had a bit of a decline in that community activism, for want of a better word?
Davies says formal participation and traditional measures of community connection have declined, but people still seek belonging, purpose and connection. Digital communities are changing how people connect, with both benefits and risks.
Measuring Impact Without Losing Heart: Healthy Compassion in Action (with Zoe Black and Mark Osborn, Happy Paws Happy Hearts)
Q: Zoe, tell us how this idea came about and why animal-assisted group work instead of one-to-one matching.
The idea grew from lived experience of social isolation and trauma, which led me to see animals as a powerful, uplifting catalyst for connection. We chose a group model to foster social learning, peer support, and shared purpose, rather than simply pairing a person with a pet.
