This lunch forum will explore the outcome of the federal election and what it means for political advocacy and engagement. Come along to hear from a panel of people working in government relations across the not-for-profit sector to discuss a range of policy areas impacting on the not-for-profit sector. Then hang around and join us for lunch and connect with other people working to create change across the sector.

The lunch forum will explore:

• ·What is the make up of the House of Representatives and Senate and what does it mean for people advocating for change?
• ·What are the key policy issues that will be on the agenda and how will this impact on the not-for-profit sector and people experiencing disadvantage?

After the Forum join us for lunch to network with other people from the sector to share ideas and maybe even strategise.
