As the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's representative since 2017, I have had the honour and pleasure to participate in the National Remote Indigenous Media Festival, in Yirrkala, Northern Territory, and on Waiben, Thursday Island, in the Torres Strait. This has given me valuable insight into how public service agencies, with a commitment to connecting with the Australian community, can better engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander remote media services. This includes both essential service communications and sharing organisational stories to personalise how public agencies impact on people's lives. It is evident to me that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander media is at the forefront in content production, technology integration and community engagement.

A key responsibility of my role at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology has been the management and ongoing expansion of the Indigenous Weather Knowledge project. I have constructively engaged various government organisations, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporations and groups, external academics and individual community members to ensure ongoing development of this invaluable and complex project. I have been a passionate champion of this project, leading its revitalisation to position the Bureau as proactive in ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and their traditional knowledge and understanding of the natural environment are valued, respected and sensitively shared. In 2017, I coordinated the redesign of the IWK website and have since represented the Bureau in promoting its unique environmental and cultural value to the wider public.
