Australian of the Year Juliette Wright OAM on Creating the Innovative Giving Platform GIVIT

Listen in as host Sarah Maxwell sits down with Australian of the Year Juliette Wright, the innovative mind behind GIVIT.
Her story is one of vision and resilience, as she tackled the challenge of bridging the gap between well-intentioned donors and the real needs of charities in Australia. From her early days writing updates to family in Ireland to the creation of a platform that made a tangible difference during the Queensland floods, Juliet's path is a testament to the power of persistence and inventive thinking.
We peel back the layers of charitable giving:

• exploring the unanticipated needs that often go unnoticed and the importance of clear communication between donors and recipients.
• the logistical challenges charities face
• how a collaborative approach with social workers helped refine a practical model that respects privacy while meeting critical needs.

As Juliet steps away from GiveIt, she shares her ambitious vision for a global platform called "Recovery," aimed at addressing humanitarian needs worldwide.
Join us in celebrating trailblazing women who carve their own paths, offering inspiration and encouragement for the next generation to dream big and make a meaningful impact.
