Real Stories. Real Impact.

Words matter, but the experiences behind them matter even more.

Hear from the people and partners I’ve had the privilege of working with across sectors and settings, from classrooms to boardrooms, and everywhere in between. Their reflections speak to the power of honest dialogue, courageous leadership and intentional equity work.

    ~ Dr Alhassan Abdullah, Senior Lecture in Social Work at Charles Sturt University ~

    “Ms. Elizabeth Lang delivered a guest lecture on Working Against Racism to Social Work and Bachelor of Human Services students in our Developing Cross-Competence Skills class. She demonstrated exceptional knowledge, and I have received messages from students expressing how much they learned from her lecture. Many shared that they felt inspired and motivated by her practical strategies for addressing racism in the Australian human services sector.”

      ~ ~ Ashley Thompson-Brown, Administrator at WesTrac ~

      “I had the privilege to hear Elizabeth speak at the Westrac Culture & Safety meeting, I knew straight away that she would speak with care and compassion when she did the acknowledgement of country in a way that resonated with myself as a person who was also born overseas. It was also heartening to hear her inform the audience that the subject she was about to talk about was difficult and confronting and that if they needed a break and or leave the room she would understand. Elizabeth made everyone in the room feel valid and valued and provided the most up to date information she had available. She was willing and interested to listen to what the audience had to say, which included personal experiences. I left her talk with more food for thought.”

        ~ Tharanga De Silva - Community Development Coordinator, ASeTTS ~

        “Elizabeth Lang is a passionate facilitator. She facilitated a forum for ASeTTS and was able to effectively harness the participation of all forum attendees. Her vast knowledge on the subject matter and high-level facilitation skills helped to achieve the objectives of the forum.”

          ~ Dr Alphonse Mulumba ~

          “Elizabeth is a great leader and an outstanding facilitator who understands the dynamics of effective information delivery while engaging her audience. Her background, knowledge and professional experience make her unique and give her the right balance of a leader who leads from the head and heart.”

            ~ Pippa Cebis, (Former) CEO of Mosaic ~

            “Elizabeth’s presentation to our Board and Strategic Leadership Team on the complex topics of diversity and inclusion was engaging, thought provoking and very interesting. Her passionate, considered and research-based delivery engendered genuine and lovely conversation, and even now we are still referencing some of the gems we took away with us.”

              ~ Professor Shamit Saggar, (Former) Director of the UWA Public Policy Institute ~

              “Elizabeth Lang’s understanding of the nuanced factors that contribute to Family and Domestic Violence in refugee communities is an important asset in working through the balance of policy responses. This field is, after all, laden with half-truths and supposition which rarely cut through to what is taking place, let alone how the murky evidence can best be interpreted by public agencies. The UWA Public Policy Institute places weight on better understanding the ‘wicked issues’ using this kind of approach.”

                ~ Hala Abdelnour, CEO of the Institute of non-violence ~

                "We invited Elizabeth to join a panel of speakers for a webinar on Community-led approaches to ending men's violence towards women. Elizabeth is an eloquent speaker and was able to clearly articulate the unique experiences and challenges faced by migrant and refugee communities when it comes to family and domestic violence responses by those communities and the broader system. Audience response to Elizabeth was very positive and she clearly created space for new thinking and reflection that adds immense value to professionals in the field."

                  I acknowledge the First Peoples of Australia, on whose lands I live, work and play. I honour their enduring connection to Country and ongoing resistance to colonisation and injustice. Sovereignty was never ceded. I stand in solidarity with their continued struggle for truth-telling, justice and decolonisation.
