Meet Our Speaker
The National Child & Family Safety Leadership Summit 2026 brings together leaders who are driving meaningful change in child and family safety across Australia.
We are pleased to welcome Malini Raj, Executive Director of the Australian Multicultural Women’s Alliance, to this year’s summit.
About the Speaker
Malini Raj leads the Australian Multicultural Women’s Alliance, an organisation focused on advancing the rights, safety, and wellbeing of multicultural women and their families.
Her work brings an important perspective to national conversations around child and family safety, particularly in ensuring that responses are inclusive, culturally informed, and grounded in lived experience.
Her leadership highlights the need to recognise the diverse realities of families across Australia and to ensure that systems are responsive to those differences.
Why This Matters
Child and family safety cannot be addressed through one approach alone. It requires systems that are inclusive and able to respond to the needs of all communities.
Leadership in this space is essential to:
- Strengthen culturally responsive approaches to family safety
- Ensure policies reflect diverse lived experiences
- Improve access to support for multicultural communities
- Build trust between services and communities
This session offers valuable insight into how inclusive leadership can strengthen outcomes for children and families.
