Earlier this month, the CACC attended a NAIDOC Week cocktail reception at the Australian National Maritime Museum. The event featured famed Torres Strait Islander artist Alick Tipoti, who was visiting the Museum as part of the NAIDOC celebrations.
CACC representative, Laurie Mac (Co-Chair, Young Professionals Committee), enjoyed the opportunity to explore the Museum, see Alick’s impressive Mariw Minaral (Spiritual Patterns) exhibition and speak with Daryl Karp AM, the museum’s new Director.

Yesterday in Canberra, the CACC, in partnership with OpenText and SAP, hosted a private boardroom briefing on the topic of “Government at the Speed of Digital”.

It was a great opportunity for CACC members to meet and discuss these cross-border relations with special guests, including:
- Keith Nelson, Senior Strategist for Global Public Sector at Open Text;
- Ryan van Leent, Vice President, Global Public Sector at SAP; and
- His Excellency Mr Mark Glauser, the High Commissioner of Canada to Australia,

This discussion will feature legendary Australian cinematographer-turned-director, Jane Castle, with Australian/Canadian cinematographer and director, Polly Pierce. Both filmmakers have an interest in issues around mental health and resilience and both have pivoted from one key creative role to another as their careers have progressed.
The duo will discuss their transitions from cinematography into directing and then delve into discussion around Jane's latest film When the Camera Stopped Rolling, a feature documentary about her mother’s life in filmmaking, which is screening at Revelation Film Festival this week.
