President's Message
Commonwealth Day 2026
Our Commonwealth Day lunch was held on Monday 9 March 2026 at NSW Parliament House. We had just on 170 guests.
Her Excellency presented His Majesty's message.
Our guest speaker Brian Tyson presented the latest findings from The Mood of the Nation and Five Lives studies – SEC Newgate’s national audit of what Australians think and feel.
This data is to understand cohesion and fragmentation, the discussion that focuses on understanding where we are as a society now, and what we need to do to drive partnerships and collaboration into the future.
