My guest this week is Sherilee McManus - a proud Wiradjuri woman and the Director of Engagement & Outcomes at Life Without Barriers, a national social purpose organisation committed to partnering with people to change lives for the better.

Sherilee brings a deep commitment to cultural connection and equity. In her current role, she plays a key part in shaping inclusive practice across the organisation, and in 2024, led the Life Without Barriers Head Office NAIDOC Week event - designed to help non-Indigenous Australians experience NAIDOC as a true celebration of culture.

Prior to this, Sherilee served as Acting National Manager of Stakeholder Relations within Hearing Australia’s First Nations Services. There, she worked to improve hearing health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children through culturally safe engagement and service design.

Across all her work, Sherilee is guided by respect for Country, Culture, and Community - ensuring that First Nations voices are not only heard but centred in the decisions that impact their lives.

In this episode, we talk about Sherilee’s leadership journey, the importance of cultural celebration and inclusion, and how she’s helping shape a more respectful, just, and connected Australia.
