From the Heart: An evening with Thomas Mayo

29 May @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm AEST

Surf Coast Shire Council is delighted to host author, advocate and campaigner Thomas Mayo as a special guest speaker to mark National Reconciliation Week 2023. Thomas Mayo is a Kaurareg Aboriginal and Kalkalgal, Erubamle Torres Strait Islander man.

His most recent book is The Voice to Parliament Handbook, co-authored with journalist Kerry O’Brien.

For the past two years, Thomas has travelled the length and breadth of the nation, speaking to small communities and big city gatherings, playing a key role in building the people’s movement for a constitutionally enshrined First Nations Voice.

This keynote address will be followed by an audience Q&A.

Book sales and signing will also be available at the event.

The evening will commence with a Welcome to Country Ceremony from Wadawurrung Traditional Owners.
