Julia Gillard Instagram - Jacinda Ardern showed the world a new style of leadership by deciding to foreground kindness and empathy. Her example has been a shining light to many, especially women. I congratulate her on all she has achieved to date and wish her well in this next phase of her life.

Julia Gillard Instagram - 📚NEW BOOK! 📚 For me, it is a personal and cathartic exercise looking back at THAT speech. But what has meant even more has been gathering the reflections and thoughts from others about then, now, and what next. In October, to mark the 10 year anniversary, I will share it all with you. 📚 Pre-order your copy via link in my bio
Julia Gillard Instagram - As part of International Day of the Girl on Oct 11, I’m reflecting on the advice I would give my younger self (pictured here!) “The only way you will know what you are capable of achieving is by trying, and sometimes failing, but then trying again. As you move through life, not everyone will like you, or what you are trying to achieve, but that’s okay. Nurture a strong sense of self, and a clear purpose for what you are doing, and doors you never imagined possible will open.” @inspiringgirlsint #ThisLittleGirlIsMe
Julia Gillard Instagram - On October 14, Australia has the opportunity to take a step towards a better future for First Nations Peoples. The nation’s leading health organisations have come together to highlight the practical difference a Voice to Parliament could make. Beyond Blue, the national depression and anxiety initiative which I chair, wholeheartedly supports a Voice to Parliament because it has the potential to improve health outcomes. A Voice also promotes social and emotional wellbeing through self-determination. Because we all do better and we all feel better when we have a say in how we live our lives. #yes23 #alliesforuluru @ulurustatement No matter how you vote, Beyond Blue is here to support you: follow the link in my bio on how to access support. Alternatively, you can call 13YARN to talk with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Crisis Supporter.

Julia Gillard Instagram - It was such a pleasure to be in Melbourne earlier this week for the unveiling of this incredible statue of trailblazing unionist Zelda D’Aprano. Zelda dedicated her life to fighting for gender equality and equal pay – a fight that continues today. Congratulations to the team at A Monument of One’s Own for your important work to ensure more Australian women are given the recognition they deserve. 🎨Sculpture by @jennifermannsculptor

Julia Gillard Instagram - Relax everybody - this was not my unofficial campaign launch, despite the hilarious t-shirts! It was a thrill to meet with artists from the @apy_ac_collective yesterday, including Pitjantjatjara woman Sally Scales, whose work I selected to include on my Christmas Card for 2021. It was a pleasure to see the artists at work in their studio, and hear about the creativity and the culture that drive their works. I was intrigued to hear about the significant role that art plays in connecting women across generations and empowering leaders.

Julia Gillard Instagram - “I do think we, as women, can’t just keep self-limiting. We do have to find a way of hitting that tone when it’s justified or when behaviours go uncalled out or unaddressed or only addressed meekly or politely. And one thing I do think about the coming generation of feminists and activists is they’re less worried about being characterised as impolite.” Thanks to @stellarmag & @sarrahlemarquand for chatting to me ahead of my upcoming events in Melbourne (sold out) and Sydney for 'Not Now, Not Ever' to mark 10 years since the misogyny speech. Last minute tickets have been released in Sydney; you can find them via link in my bio. Photography: @stevenchee Styling: @irenetsolakas HMU: @kellyaallison Interview: @sarrahlemarquand The full interview and shoot can be seen inside The Sunday Telegraph (NSW), Sunday Herald Sun (VIC), The Sunday Mail (QLD) and Sunday Mail (SA).
Julia Gillard Instagram - ✨LINK IN BIO ✨ It’s been nearly a decade since I stood in Parliament House and declared NOT NOW, NOT EVER. I’m thrilled to now take to the stage over two very special curated evenings, at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall on October 4 and Sydney’s Aware Super Theatre on October 5, for NOT NOW, NOT EVER, to reflect on the impact of the speech, but also what comes next in the fight for equality. The evenings will be hosted by celebrated broadcaster and author Indira Naidoo, alongside an exciting line-up of guests offering their personal perspectives of the speech and the ten years since. Sign up to the waitlist now to receive priority access to tickets via the link in my bio. Tickets are available via Ticketek, with pre-sales commencing on Monday 18 July, and all tickets on sale from Monday 25 July. Produced by @michaelcasselgroup, proceeds from the evenings will go towards supporting the @giwlanu @giwlkings, which aim to help create a world in which being a woman is not a barrier to becoming a leader in any field.
Julia Gillard Instagram - Today I joined Premier of South Australia @pmalinauskasmp and Education Minister @blair.boyermp to announce I have been appointed the lead the Royal Commission into Early Childhood Education and Care. As a proud South Australian, I thank the Premier for inviting me to play a role in helping all our children to thrive in the first five years of life through access to high quality early childhood education and care. Education policy has been a career passion of mine, and I am delighted to now have the opportunity to support the next important steps to improve the early childhood education system in South Australia. Life chances are defined early and I want every child in SA to be set up for success. 🔸You can learn more about the Commission via the link in my bio.
Julia Gillard Instagram - The documentary, Strong Female Lead, about my time as Prime Minister, is bound to generate debate and questions. I haven’t seen it, but I am aware of the content, as of course, I was there. When I reflect back on my time as Prime Minister, my predominant emotion is one of gratitude for the opportunity. Being Australia’s first female Prime Minister will always remain the greatest honour of my life. I live my life according to the mantra we can’t change the past, but we can change the future. That doesn’t mean the historical record is irrelevant, because it is only by analysing it that we can glean the lessons that will help us shape the best tomorrow. The Strong Female Lead documentary will play a positive role if it is watched in that spirit, and spurs more gender equality activism. #strongfemalelead @giwlkings @giwlanu ⬆️Link to full written statement in my bio
Julia Gillard Instagram - I am terribly sad to learn of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. My thoughts are foremost with the Queen’s family and friends at this time. She was dearly loved and the Royal Family will be grieving her loss deeply. Millions of people around the world will be pausing and reflecting on her loss, and life of service. The Queen has been a powerful presence for as long as many of us can remember. She was a remarkable role model; responsibility for service thrust on to her as a young woman, and taken up with grace, devotion and dignity during her reign. The Queen will be remembered as an extraordinary monarch who witnessed - and influenced - the trajectory of modern history. I am in awe of the Queen’s legacy and remember my own personal meetings with her fondly, especially at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth. She was strong and steadfast, but also kind and had an engaging sense of humour. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be mourned but forever remembered. 📸- Getty Images
Julia Gillard Instagram - 🎧🎙NEW PODCAST EPISODE🎙🎧 I had so much fun discussing the ‘f’ word – feminism – with comedic trailblazer @hannah_gadsby. This episode was a long time in the making. It took us over a year before we could line up our schedules to chat, and Hannah is still touring the world for her latest show ‘Body of Work’. I’m so glad we persevered. I know you’ll love listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it. Follow the link in my bio to listen to this and all other episodes of Podcast of One’s Own.
Julia Gillard Instagram - 1/6- An incredibly fulfilling part of my life post-politics has been my work as Chair of @gpforeducation For nearly two decades, GPE has been delivering funds and supporting solutions to build strong and resilient education systems so that more children in lower-income countries, especially girls, get the education they need. After seven years as Board Chair, my time with GPE ends today. I am reflecting on some of the highlights of that time, and the extraordinary impact of GPE’s work.

Julia Gillard Instagram - I am very grateful to have received my 2nd dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine. My thanks go to the staff & volunteers at the Waldron Health Centre. I urge everyone to take up opportunities to be vaccinated and to play their part in helping protect the community from COVID-19.
Julia Gillard Instagram - Ten years ago, on this day, I gave my final speech as Prime Minister. At the time I said, “The reaction to being the first female prime minister does not explain everything about my prime ministership, nor does it explain nothing about my prime ministership…and it is for the nation to think, in a sophisticated way, about those shades of grey.” "What I am absolutely confident of is it will be easier for the next woman and the woman after that and the woman after that and I'm proud of that”. I still feel that optimism and I am heartened by the fact that the Labor Government which leads our nation is more than fifty per cent women. Change is possible and is happening, but progress is not linear. The intense contemporary discourse around women in Parliament House is backward looking, personalised and vindictive. It is time to adopt a new tone and approach. Every women who works in Parliament House in any capacity should feel safe and respected. We know from the past we have not met that standard. Working together to change that, in Parliament House and every workplace around the country, is what should be the focus now. Ten years on, I still believe in the positive power of politics. It gives an unparalleled opportunity to put your values into action for impactful, lasting change at a national and global level. I was Prime Minister for three years and three days and in that time, we passed 561 pieces of legislation. My government was able to establish the National Disability Insurance Scheme, undertake major education reforms, launch the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Childhood Sexual Abuse, introduce an emissions trading scheme and improve our standing in the world – just to name a few highlights. I will always cherish the opportunity I had to be Prime Minister, and I remain hopeful I will see other women serve as prime minister in my lifetime.
Julia Gillard Instagram - Today is a day that will give rise to complex and conflicting emotions. For many, it will be a time of deep pain and sorrow. I want to acknowledge that 26 January is scorched into the consciousness of many First Nations people as a day of profound mourning. As the Chair of Beyond Blue – an organisation with a mission to support everyone in Australia to achieve their best mental health – I believe it’s vital we recognise the grief that this day can evoke. It’s a date connected to the ongoing impacts of colonisation. Dispossession, violence, disempowerment and the fracturing of ancestral and cultural knowledge are a source of historical and ongoing trauma that continues to impact on the social and emotional wellbeing of First Nations people. As we understand more about our history, more Australians are reflecting on how to engage with 26 January. These conversations may be challenging but they are necessary for us to mature and heal as a nation. Beyond Blue continues to advocate for action to Close the Gap, to improve social and emotional wellbeing, and to prevent suicide. We support the Uluru Statement from the Heart and a First Nations Voice to Parliament. While we cannot change our past, we can learn from it. If we accept the truth of our shared history, we can walk together in a spirit of healing and reconciliation towards a brighter future. If you find this day difficult, support is available. Contact 13YARN or the Beyond Blue Support Service on 1300 22 46 36
Julia Gillard Instagram - 4/6 I am grateful to have stood alongside strong women, educational leaders and many campaigners who are determined to ensure girls get to go to quality schools. I remain inspired and motivated by youth voices that continue to campaign for inclusive education policies that benefit all children.

Julia Gillard Instagram - I was thrilled to join former Prime Minister of New Zealand @jacindaardern, who has launched the Field Fellowship, supported by women leaders around the world including the former President of Chile Dr Michelle Bachelet. The first cohort of fellows recently met for the inaugural event to explore building resilience in political life, leading with empathy and why it’s so important in the current political landscape. With new support networks, tools and ideas, I’m looking forward to seeing these women thrive in public life. You can find out more here: https://www.fieldleaders.org
Julia Gillard Instagram - Congratulations to Sam Mostyn on being sworn in as Australia’s 28th Governor-General today. Sam is a person of the highest integrity and I know she will do a remarkable job. I was fortunate enough to sit down with Sam for a chat last December to discuss her incredible career and achievements to date. You can listen back to that podcast episode at the 🔗 in the bio or wherever you get your podcasts.
Julia Gillard Instagram - It is with many and mixed emotions that I announce I will be stepping down as Chair of @beyondblueofficial at the end of this year. I first joined Beyond Blue as a Board Director almost 9 years ago, before becoming Chair in 2017. Since its creation in 2000, Beyond Blue has been a trusted source for mental health information and support in Australia, and it’s been a true privilege to help ensure that continued. During my 7 years as Chair, the organisation has continually adapted to the changing world around it and met an ever increasing demand, particularly during the Covid pandemic which created a seismic shift in the way we lived. Beyond Blue has evolved and grown its free, 24/7 mental health supports and services, and this year we launched Strategy 2023 , which can be described in three simple words: Earlier. Easier. Together. The strategy, along with Beyond Blue’s new partnership with Lifeline, will allow the organisation to focus on prevention and earlier intervention. Supporting people before mental health issues arise or they reach crisis. It’s been a thorough pleasure to work with the wonderful and supportive team at Beyond Blue, led superbly by CEO Georgie Harman. The difficult decision to step down is made somewhat easier by knowing I am passing the baton onto a fantastic successor. From 2024, Beyond Blue’s Chair will be Sam Mostyn, a highly respected businesswoman and advocate for a multitude of issues including climate change and gender equity. I’m pleased to be remaining at Beyond Blue as a Patron.

Julia Gillard Instagram - One of the many things I love about @beyondblueofficial signature fundraiser, Big Blue Table, is that it brings people together and gets them talking about topics they perhaps might not otherwise discuss, such as mental health. Participants receive a host kit that includes a range of “conversation-starter” cards, which offer prompts such as: What made you smile recently? Who do you turn to for advice? Share a trait you love about yourself. As Beyond Blue Chair, I’m excited to support this year’s Big Blue Table, whose ambassadors include Australia’s first Masterchef, @_juliegoodwin, former Bachelor @drmattagnew and comedian/chef @nats_what_i_reckon. Proceeds go to the Beyond Blue Support Service, which supports more than 300,000 people every year. The service is funded entirely by donations, so every dollar counts. To host your own Big Blue Table, visit www.bigbluetable.com.au
Julia Gillard Instagram - There’s something about the simple act of sharing food – the comfort, connection and conversation – that lends itself to open and honest discussions. And that’s exactly what we need when we talk about mental ill health. I was thrilled to share a cuppa and a bite to eat with Masterchef legend Julie Goodwin and cooking sensation @nats_what_i_reckon as part of @beyondblueofficial Big Blue Table, a new event to start important conversations about mental health and raise funds for people impacted by anxiety, depression and suicide. From October 1 to 8, to mark the start of World Mental Health Month, we’re inviting you to host your own Big Blue Table – whether it’s by having a long lunch with colleagues, decking your whole kitchen out in blue, or having a picnic in the park with friends and family. Every dollar raised will go towards keeping up with ever increasing demand for Beyond Blue’s support services, which have received record contacts over the past few challenging years. Big Blue Table provides a safe space to have life-changing conversations. To get access to your free conversation starters and host kit, register today. https://bigbluetable.com.au/

Julia Gillard Instagram - This is @tara_june_winch and I in 2011, when I paid a visit to Clunes, Victoria. The world has changed a lot for both of us since then. Tara has gone on to write her critically acclaimed novel The Yield, which was one of my favourite books of 2020. A Wiradjuri woman, Tara speaks to me on the latest episode of A Podcast of One’s Own about her childhood, the unlikely tale of how she became a published author, and the power of storytelling to give a voice to underrepresented communities. It’s a raw and heartfelt discussion, and I’m deeply grateful to Tara for trusting me with her stories. I know you will enjoy listening to them too. This episode and all others are available via the link in my bio.
Julia Gillard Instagram - It was a thorough pleasure to return to the University of Adelaide for this year’s Julia Gillard Public Lecture. We discussed the recently released Royal Commission into Early Childhood Education and Care. The University of Adelaide is already undertaking groundbreaking research on early childhood development, through its BetterStart research program. I thank BetterStart researcher Dr Rhiannon Pilkington for joining me on stage to discuss her important work, and to BetterStart PhD Candidate Anna Kalamkarian for delivering a vote of thanks. It’s exciting to see the work already underway, as well as the enormous opportunities to expand our knowledge about how to give children the best possible start in life.

Julia Gillard Instagram - 2021 has been an unusual year for all of us. I have spent some of it in lockdown, and much of it away from home. That should have meant lots of time to read, but somehow there never seems to be enough! Because I have been stationary for long periods, I have tended to buy and read physical books, whereas I rely much more on my kindle in times of frequent travel. For a number of works I have enjoyed the kindle and audio book combination: this lets me listen when walking, and read on the couch. For me, once again, the works of women authors have loomed large. I very much enjoyed Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, which won the UK Women’s Prize for Fiction. However, I recognise fantasy novels like this aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. A wonderful book-devouring friend of mine hated it, so consider yourself warned. I also loved The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi. Kate Mosse, an accomplished author who pushed to create the prize for women’s fiction, came on my podcast this year. In preparation, I read her most recent work, An Extra Pair of Hands, about the experience of being a carer, and two of her historical fiction works, The Burning Chambers and the City of Tears. I enjoyed them all. Closer to home, but still in the genre of historical fiction, I enjoyed Mirandi Riwoe’s Stone Sky, Gold Mountain and Kate Grenville’s, A Room Made of Leaves. In this turbulent world, I was also drawn to novels that predict the future and in doing so try to shed some light on contemporary political problems. I would recommend Hillary Clinton’s and Louise Penny’s State of Terror, and 2034, A Novel of the Next World War by Admiral James Stavridis and Elliot Ackerman. A new Kazuo Ishiguro novel is a delight to be savoured, Klara and the Sun is a must read. I would thoroughly recommend Jeremy Farrar’s and Anjana Abuja’s, Spike:The Virus vs The People - The Inside Story, which, as you can tell from the title, is all about the pandemic. For a very different book, which will take you far away from the world of COVID 19, try A Dutiful Boy: A memoir of secrets, lies and family love by Mohsin Zaidi.

Julia Gillard Instagram - Today I released the interim report of The Royal Commission into Early Childhood Education and Care in South Australia. In recent months, the Commission has heard from expert witnesses, key stakeholders, and South Australian parents about the importance of quality, fairness and accessibility of early childhood education and care services. I am grateful for all the insights shared. The Interim Report details the Commission’s vision for the future of preschool and outlines a pathway for the delivery of preschool for all South Australian 3-year-olds, with roll out beginning from 2026. This is an exciting opportunity for South Australia to lead the world and transform early years services for our state’s children. There is still time to have your say on the 33 recommendations in the Interim Report and the work of the Royal Commission overall, which can be submitted via the Royal Commission website until 19 May 2023. Inquiries continue into workforce supply, how to ensure universal availability of Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) and the role of early childhood education and care in supporting children in their first 1000 days, for inclusion in the Royal Commission’s Final Report. The final report is due to be released in August. You can find a copy of the Interim Report, and provide feedback via the link to the Royal Commission in my bio.
Julia Gillard Instagram - 6/6 - However, nothing can or should last forever and now is the right time for the leadership baton to pass to the next generation and most particularly to a leader from a developing country. I wish Dr Jakaya Kikwete a warm start to his tenure as the new Board Chair of the Global Partnership for Education. I wish @gpforeducation every success in the future in changing the lives of children around the world through the transformative power of education.
Julia Gillard Instagram - NEW PODCAST EPISODE! Angela Rayner’s journey to becoming Deputy Leader of the UK’s Labour Party has been far from conventional. Angela grew up on a council estate, and left school when she was pregnant at 16 – being told by many she would never amount to anything. I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Angela for a fascinating discussion about her life, her politics, and what she hopes to achieve for the people she now represents. 🎧Listen at the link in bio

Julia Gillard Instagram - I am deeply honoured that plans are underway to establish the Julia Gillard Prime Ministerial Library on the grounds of the university where my tertiary education journey began. I have many fond memories from my time at the University of Adelaide, where I studied law, economics and literature. I have continued my relationship with the University as an Honorary Professor and through the annual Julia Gillard Lecture. It was a privilege to witness the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the University and the National Archives of Australia, an important first step in turning this vision into a reality. I am excited to see the library take shape in the coming years, and become a dynamic, living space for students, staff and the general public.

Julia Gillard Instagram - Today I released the final report of the Royal Commission into Early Childhood Education and Care in South Australia. This report is all about creating the best start for every child. The way a child grows, learns and develops in the years before school is pivotal. The Commission lays out 43 recommendations designed to take South Australia on a pathway of change that will see our state lead on early childhood education and care. A shift this major will take time, policy energy and resources. Given my own experiences with the demands and complexities of government, I understand and respect the processes the State Government must now undertake. I thank each and every person who took the time to engage with the Royal Commission. This report has been enriched by your insights. Thank you also to the remarkable team I’ve had the great pleasure of working with over the past year, and to our State Premier, @pmalinauskasmp for trusting with me with this important work. It’s been an honour to undertake this work for the state and the education system that I myself owe such a debt of gratitude to. You can read the final report via the link in my bio.
Julia Gillard Instagram - 2/6- Just this year at the Global Education Summit in London, countless world leaders pledged to set GPE on a path to raise at least $5 billion over the next five years.

As you move through life, not everyone will like you, or what you are trying to achieve, but that’s okay. Nurture a strong sense of self, and a clear purpose for what you are doing, and doors you never imagined possible will open.” @inspiringgirlsint #ThisLittleGirlIsMe

Being Australia’s first female Prime Minister will always remain the greatest honour of my life. I live my life according to the mantra we can’t change the past, but we can change the future. That doesn’t mean the historical record is irrelevant, because it is only by analysing it that we can glean the lessons that will help us shape the best tomorrow.

The Queen has been a powerful presence for as long as many of us can remember. She was a remarkable role model; responsibility for service thrust on to her as a young woman, and taken up with grace, devotion and dignity during her reign. The Queen will be remembered as an extraordinary monarch who witnessed - and influenced - the trajectory of modern history. I am in awe of the Queen’s legacy and remember my own personal meetings with her fondly, especially at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth.

Likes : 8492Julia Gillard - 8.4K Likes - Ten years ago, on this day, I gave my final speech as Prime Minister. At the time I said, “The reaction to being the first female prime minister does not explain everything about my prime ministership, nor does it explain nothing about my prime ministership…and it is for the nation to think, in a sophisticated way, about those shades of grey.” "What I am absolutely confident of is it will be easier for the next woman and the woman after that and the woman after that and I'm proud of that”. I still feel that optimism and I am heartened by the fact that the Labor Government which leads our nation is more than fifty per cent women. Change is possible and is happening, but progress is not linear. The intense contemporary discourse around women in Parliament House is backward looking, personalised and vindictive. It is time to adopt a new tone and approach. Every women who works in Parliament House in any capacity should feel safe and respected. We know from the past we have not met that standard. Working together to change that, in Parliament House and every workplace around the country, is what should be the focus now. Ten years on, I still believe in the positive power of politics. It gives an unparalleled opportunity to put your values into action for impactful, lasting change at a national and global level. I was Prime Minister for three years and three days and in that time, we passed 561 pieces of legislation. My government was able to establish the National Disability Insurance Scheme, undertake major education reforms, launch the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Childhood Sexual Abuse, introduce an emissions trading scheme and improve our standing in the world – just to name a few highlights. I will always cherish the opportunity I had to be Prime Minister, and I remain hopeful I will see other women serve as prime minister in my lifetime.

Caption : Ten years ago, on this day, I gave my final speech as Prime Minister. At the time I said, “The reaction to being the first female prime minister does not explain everything about my prime ministership, nor does it explain nothing about my prime ministership…and it is for the nation to think, in a sophisticated way, about those shades of grey.” “What I am absolutely confident of is it will be easier for the next woman and the woman after that and the woman after that and I’m proud of that”. I still feel that optimism and I am heartened by the fact that the Labor Government which leads our nation is more than fifty per cent women. Change is possible and is happening, but progress is not linear. The intense contemporary discourse around women in Parliament House is backward looking, personalised and vindictive. It is time to adopt a new tone and approach. Every women who works in Parliament House in any capacity should feel safe and respected. We know from the past we have not met that standard. Working together to change that, in Parliament House and every workplace around the country, is what should be the focus now. Ten years on, I still believe in the positive power of politics. It gives an unparalleled opportunity to put your values into action for impactful, lasting change at a national and global level. I was Prime Minister for three years and three days and in that time, we passed 561 pieces of legislation.

Likes : 8369Julia Gillard - 8.1K Likes - Today is a day that will give rise to complex and conflicting emotions. For many, it will be a time of deep pain and sorrow. I want to acknowledge that 26 January is scorched into the consciousness of many First Nations people as a day of profound mourning. As the Chair of Beyond Blue – an organisation with a mission to support everyone in Australia to achieve their best mental health – I believe it’s vital we recognise the grief that this day can evoke. It’s a date connected to the ongoing impacts of colonisation. Dispossession, violence, disempowerment and the fracturing of ancestral and cultural knowledge are a source of historical and ongoing trauma that continues to impact on the social and emotional wellbeing of First Nations people. As we understand more about our history, more Australians are reflecting on how to engage with 26 January. These conversations may be challenging but they are necessary for us to mature and heal as a nation. Beyond Blue continues to advocate for action to Close the Gap, to improve social and emotional wellbeing, and to prevent suicide. We support the Uluru Statement from the Heart and a First Nations Voice to Parliament. While we cannot change our past, we can learn from it. If we accept the truth of our shared history, we can walk together in a spirit of healing and reconciliation towards a brighter future. If you find this day difficult, support is available.

I first joined Beyond Blue as a Board Director almost 9 years ago, before becoming Chair in 2017. Since its creation in 2000, Beyond Blue has been a trusted source for mental health information and support in Australia, and it’s been a true privilege to help ensure that continued. During my 7 years as Chair, the organisation has continually adapted to the changing world around it and met an ever increasing demand, particularly during the Covid pandemic which created a seismic shift in the way we lived. Beyond Blue has evolved and grown its free, 24/7 mental health supports and services, and this year we launched Strategy 2023 , which can be described in three simple words: Earlier. Easier. Together. The strategy, along with Beyond Blue’s new partnership with Lifeline, will allow the organisation to focus on prevention and earlier intervention. Supporting people before mental health issues arise or they reach crisis. It’s been a thorough pleasure to work with the wonderful and supportive team at Beyond Blue, led superbly by CEO Georgie Harman. The difficult decision to step down is made somewhat easier by knowing I am passing the baton onto a fantastic successor. From 2024, Beyond Blue’s Chair will be Sam Mostyn, a highly respected businesswoman and advocate for a multitude of issues including climate change and gender equity. I’m pleased to be remaining at Beyond Blue as a Patron.

Participants receive a host kit that includes a range of “conversation-starter” cards, which offer prompts such as: What made you smile recently? Who do you turn to for advice? Share a trait you love about yourself. As Beyond Blue Chair, I’m excited to support this year’s Big Blue Table, whose ambassadors include Australia’s first Masterchef, @_juliegoodwin, former Bachelor @drmattagnew and comedian/chef @nats_what_i_reckon. Proceeds go to the Beyond Blue Support Service, which supports more than 300,000 people every year. The service is funded entirely by donations, so every dollar counts.

I thank BetterStart researcher Dr Rhiannon Pilkington for joining me on stage to discuss her important work, and to BetterStart PhD Candidate Anna Kalamkarian for delivering a vote of thanks. It’s exciting to see the work already underway, as well as the enormous opportunities to expand our knowledge about how to give children the best possible start in life.

Likes : 4296Julia Gillard - 4.2K Likes - 2021 has been an unusual year for all of us. I have spent some of it in lockdown, and much of it away from home. That should have meant lots of time to read, but somehow there never seems to be enough! Because I have been stationary for long periods, I have tended to buy and read physical books, whereas I rely much more on my kindle in times of frequent travel. For a number of works I have enjoyed the kindle and audio book combination: this lets me listen when walking, and read on the couch. For me, once again, the works of women authors have loomed large. I very much enjoyed Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, which won the UK Women’s Prize for Fiction. However, I recognise fantasy novels like this aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. A wonderful book-devouring friend of mine hated it, so consider yourself warned. I also loved The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi. Kate Mosse, an accomplished author who pushed to create the prize for women’s fiction, came on my podcast this year. In preparation, I read her most recent work, An Extra Pair of Hands, about the experience of being a carer, and two of her historical fiction works, The Burning Chambers and the City of Tears. I enjoyed them all. Closer to home, but still in the genre of historical fiction, I enjoyed Mirandi Riwoe’s Stone Sky, Gold Mountain and Kate Grenville’s, A Room Made of Leaves. In this turbulent world, I was also drawn to novels that predict the future and in doing so try to shed some light on contemporary political problems. I would recommend Hillary Clinton’s and Louise Penny’s State of Terror, and 2034, A Novel of the Next World War by Admiral James Stavridis and Elliot Ackerman. A new Kazuo Ishiguro novel is a delight to be savoured, Klara and the Sun is a must read. I would thoroughly recommend Jeremy Farrar’s and Anjana Abuja’s, Spike:The Virus vs The People - The Inside Story, which, as you can tell from the title, is all about the pandemic. For a very different book, which will take you far away from the world of COVID 19, try A Dutiful Boy: A memoir of secrets, lies and family love by Mohsin Zaidi.

Likes : 4084Julia Gillard - 4.1K Likes - Today I released the interim report of The Royal Commission into Early Childhood Education and Care in South Australia. In recent months, the Commission has heard from expert witnesses, key stakeholders, and South Australian parents about the importance of quality, fairness and accessibility of early childhood education and care services. I am grateful for all the insights shared. The Interim Report details the Commission’s vision for the future of preschool and outlines a pathway for the delivery of preschool for all South Australian 3-year-olds, with roll out beginning from 2026. This is an exciting opportunity for South Australia to lead the world and transform early years services for our state’s children. There is still time to have your say on the 33 recommendations in the Interim Report and the work of the Royal Commission overall, which can be submitted via the Royal Commission website until 19 May 2023. Inquiries continue into workforce supply, how to ensure universal availability of Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) and the role of early childhood education and care in supporting children in their first 1000 days, for inclusion in the Royal Commission’s Final Report. The final report is due to be released in August. You can find a copy of the Interim Report, and provide feedback via the link to the Royal Commission in my bio.

I have many fond memories from my time at the University of Adelaide, where I studied law, economics and literature. I have continued my relationship with the University as an Honorary Professor and through the annual Julia Gillard Lecture. It was a privilege to witness the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the University and the National Archives of Australia, an important first step in turning this vision into a reality. I am excited to see the library take shape in the coming years, and become a dynamic, living space for students, staff and the general public.

This report is all about creating the best start for every child. The way a child grows, learns and develops in the years before school is pivotal. The Commission lays out 43 recommendations designed to take South Australia on a pathway of change that will see our state lead on early childhood education and care. A shift this major will take time, policy energy and resources. Given my own experiences with the demands and complexities of government, I understand and respect the processes the State Government must now undertake. I thank each and every person who took the time to engage with the Royal Commission. This report has been enriched by your insights. Thank you also to the remarkable team I’ve had the great pleasure of working with over the past year, and to our State Premier, @pmalinauskasmp for trusting with me with this important work. It’s been an honour to undertake this work for the state and the education system that I myself owe such a debt of gratitude to. You can read the final report via the link in my bio.

These funds will support millions of children in the world’s poorest countries whose education has been upended by the pandemic. An extraordinary accomplishment.
