8. PRABHA - not your token lawyer

From perfectionism to burn out, gendered racism to navigating complex law reforms, we sat down with leading human rights and discrimination lawyer focused workplace culture reform to protecting the rights of asylum seekers and refugees, Prabha Nandagopal.

Prabha is no stranger to all the experiences many women of colour face in corporate and legal world. We spoke about the challenges of driving systemic change in predominantly white spaces, questioning what success looks like in a capitalist world, to building your own pathways, which led her to establish her own consulting company - Elevate consulting.

She is one of Australia’s foremost experts on immigration detention law and policy. In 2014, she led the landmark National Inquiry into Children in Detention. In 2020, she was a senior legal advisor to the Respect@Work National Inquiry and helped shape the positive duty regulatory scheme.
