WEBINAR - Leading Your Team Through Change With Clarity, Confidence and the Energy to Keep Moving Forward
2026-02-03 12:00 - 14:00
Build a Culture That Stays Strong When Everything Else Changes
Most leaders aren’t struggling because they can’t handle the work – they’re struggling because they’re leading teams through nonstop uncertainty while trying to look calm, confident and in control. And the truth is, it’s exhausting.
Your team feels it too. Change fatigue. Slack morale. Confusion sitting just under the surface. Everyone trying to keep up while the ground keeps shifting.
This isn’t a moment for scripts or management clichés. This is a moment for leadership that is human, grounded, clear and deeply connected to purpose.
This session dives into the lived experience of leading in 2026 – when clarity is scarce, expectations are high, and relevance isn’t guaranteed. You’ll explore what teams actually need from you when pressure rises, how culture is shaped in real time (not in documents), and how to lead in a way people can feel, not just follow.

Articulate the difference between managing change and leading through it: Recognize how leadership influences culture, engagement, and momentum during transitions.
Increase clarity and alignment during uncertainty: Practice tools for communicating purpose and direction so teams feel informed, connected, and grounded.
Lead with confidence and composure: Demonstrate how confidence grounded in values and vision fosters trust and reduces stress across the team.
Sustain team energy through adaptive challenges: Identify leadership behaviors that counter fatigue, maintain focus, and honor both progress and resilience.
Strengthen team trust and psychological safety during transitions: Apply listening, inquiry, and feedback practices that deepen connection and support meaningful participation

📅 Date: Tuesday 3 February 2026
🕓 Time: 11am AEST | 12pm AEDT | 2pm NZDT (60mins)
📍 Zoom
We’ll unpack practical ways to reduce burnout without lowering ambition, how to keep your team aligned when priorities move, and how to lead with energy even when the environment drains it.
This isn’t about managing change. It’s about becoming the leader people trust to walk them through it.

GRANT-NSW Community Benefit Payment Scheme
2026-01-06 08:00 - 17:00
Benefits local communities and offsets the potential harm of increased gaming machines in a local government area.

Community benefit payments are generally given to local not for profit and charitable organisations to support communities in the local government area where the funding is generated.
Potential grant recipients may include, but are not limited to, organisations that provide services and support relating to health, mental health, youth, housing, domestic and family violence, social or financial disadvantage and Aboriginal or culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
Funded organisations incorporate gambling harm minimisation strategies into their usual activities in a way that contributes to the support they provide to local communities.
Where the funding comes from
– When a venue applies to Liquor & Gaming NSW to increase the gaming machines on its premises, it may be required to complete a Local Impact Assessment which examines the impact that the additional machines may have on the local area. The Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority uses the Local Impact Assessment to determine if approving the application will have an overall positive impact on the community.
If the application is approved, the venue must make community benefit payments to the Responsible Gambling Fund. The payments are calculated by the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority and are distributed to organisations that support the social wellbeing of communities in the local area.
How the funding is distributed
– Community benefit payments are allocated through a closed grant process administered by the Office of Responsible Gambling. When the funding becomes available, the Office identifies and invites potential applicants from the local area to apply for a grant.
The Office convenes a community contribution panel to assess applications and make a recommendation for the approval of the Deputy Secretary Hospitality and Racing.
Community contribution panels consist of a local community representative (usually a local government or health representative), a representative of the local GambleAware service and an RGF Trustee.
To be eligible applications must meet the following conditions:
– The amount of funding requested must be within the available range (the funding amounts vary and are outlined in the guidelines for each grant opportunity).
– The proposal must be from a not for profit organisation, social-purpose or government agency with an ABN.
– The proposal must benefit local communities in the target LGA.
Funding proposals are considered against the following assessment criteria:
– The proposal is deliverable within the proposed timeframe and budget
– The applicant has sufficient capacity and expertise to deliver the project
– The proposal will provide benefit to communities in the target LGA
– The proposal will achieve value for money
– The proposal is aligned with NSW Government policy objectives.
If your organisation can meet the eligibility criteria and you would like to be considered if this funding becomes available in your local area, please register your details on the funding provider’s website.

IGA Community Chest
2025-12-31
Raises funds to support local communities, charities and other worthwhile causes. It could be in response to a major event like floods or bush fires or something as simple as new soccer balls for the local under 8’s.

IGA Community Chest and associated programs have raised over $86 million for local community groups, not-for-profit organisations, charities and other worthy causes. This money has assisted over 7,000 worthwhile causes.
The money is raised in a number of ways but predominately through the purchase of products with an IGA Community Chest logo on the label or ticket. Also through purchasing any Community Co product you can help your local IGA grow its Community Chest fund.
When you purchase a product with the IGA Community Chest logo printed on the label a percentage is credited to that store’s IGA Community Chest account. During IGA Community Chest catalogue promotion weeks, all products in the catalogue bearing the special IGA Community Chest logo contribute to the ‘Chest’. Throughout the year, extra fundraising activities are conducted by stores and regions.
IGA Community Chest beneficiary cheques are distributed throughout the year in most states.
Because IGA stores are independently owned, each store will choose the local causes that they would like to support. Please find your local IGA and approach them directly.
IGA uses a three-tier selection system:
– Local causes are chosen by individual store owners
– Regional causes are selected by clusters of stores or regional management
– State-level initiatives are determined in consultation with State IGA executives or boards.
Prepare a pitch and it may include:
– An overview of your organisation and/or the individual that you’d like supported
– What support are you looking for – monies, donations of goods, providing team jumpers, holding regular fundraising at the store, group registrations at the store, etc
– How the donation will be used and your timing. Is there anything you can offer in return to IGA?
– Don’t forget to include your contact details.
Typical grants include support for:
– Local sports clubs (e.g. soccer jerseys, equipment)
– Schools (e.g. musical instruments or facility upgrades)
– Emergency responses (e.g. flood relief)
– Community services (e.g. men’s sheds, RFS brigades).

Webinar - Not-for-profit Innovation on a shoestring
2025-12-09 13:00 - 14:00 | Online
The not-for-profit (NFP) sector exists to tackle humanity’s biggest challenges – poverty, homelessness, climate change, inequality. These are problems that are unlikely to be solved with business-as-usual approaches. They demand fresh ideas, bold thinking, and new ways of working.

Yet innovation in NFPs is often seen as a luxury, something reserved for tech start-ups or well-funded corporations. Many NFPs operate under tight financial constraints, relying on grants from risk-averse funders who prioritise accountability over experimentation.
This webinar explores how NFPs can embed innovation into their DNA – without needing deep pockets or unlimited capacity. From using existing resources differently to embracing strategic risk-taking, it offers practical insights to help NFPs think differently, experiment wisely, and drive lasting change. Because in a sector dedicated to solving society’s toughest problems, standing still is not an option.
