    Success in the For-Purpose Sector — With Liv Whitty

    Welcome to this new series of Good Will Hunters, co-hosted by Paul Ronalds, CEO of Save the Children Global Ventures, and me — Rachel Nunn, Founder of Good Will Hunters and Evoluta. Before we begin, I’d like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I record these episodes — the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation — and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging. In this second episode of the series, we’re joined by the excellent Liv Whitty, CEO of Oho — a compliance automation and safeguarding platform designed for the care sector. Oho scans employee credentials continuously, helping organisations stay on top of Working With Children Checks, Police Checks, and other compliance measures — and closing the information and system gaps that bad actors can exploit. But this is a conversation about business models in the for-purpose space. Oho ultimately chose a for-profit structure — but they could just as easily have gone down the not-for-profit route. In this episode, we unpack how that decision was made, and how you can approach the same question in your own work: What structure best supports your mission? For Oho, the decision came down to the nature of the mission — preventing abuse by enabling mass adoption of a safeguarding tool. To reach the scale required, the team needed access to capital and fast product uptake, and a for-profit structure felt like the right path.

    Success in the For-Purpose Sector — With Andrew Leigh MP

    Welcome to this new series of Good Will Hunters, hosted by Paul Ronalds, CEO of Save the Children Global Ventures, and myself — Rachel Nunn, Founder of Good Will Hunters and Founder of Evoluta. You’ll hear Paul and I introduce ourselves again shortly, and share a bit about why we’ve chosen to do this short series on the for-purpose sector. Before we get into the episode, I’d like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I record these episodes — the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation — and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging. In this first episode of the series, we’re joined by Dr Andrew Leigh, Assistant Minister for Productivity, Competition, Charities and Treasury. Productivity is front and centre for this government — from boosting skills to mainstreaming artificial intelligence in the way we work. But what does a more productive charity sector look like? In this episode, we talk about the government’s role in supporting and sustaining the sector — and they’re a pretty important player, not least because 50% of the charity sector’s income comes from government. We dive into the role of AI in boosting productivity, the government’s plan to double philanthropy by 2030, and why the voice of the charity sector is more important than ever. I’d personally like to see a dedicated productivity agenda for the charitable sector — something I’m sure many of you might join me in pushing for. Let’s get into it — and as always, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

  7. Bonus Episode - Lady Roslyn Morauta

    Bonus Episode - Lady Roslyn Morauta

    Surprise! I’m back with a bonus episode of Good Will Hunters! I’m thrilled to feature Lady Roslyn Morauta in this special wrap-up episode. Lady Roslyn and I spoke yesterday, on December 18, covering some of the major themes from this series: health financing, the health workforce (including community health workers), the work of The Global Fund, Australia’s role in global health, and more. Most importantly, I asked her the big question: What should we do over the next five years? With little hope of achieving the SDG3 targets if we continue with business as usual, her insights are more critical than ever. Lady Roslyn needs no introduction, but for context, she is the Chair of the Board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, a role she assumed in May 2023. She brings deep and multifaceted experience with the Global Fund, having served as Vice-Chair of the Board for four years, represented the Western Pacific Region constituency as Alternate Board Member, and chaired Papua New Guinea’s Country Coordinating Mechanism. She has been a steadfast advocate for health, HIV programs, and gender equity, with a strong understanding of the Global Fund’s strategies, processes, and grant implementation at the country level. Lady Roslyn has lived and worked in Papua New Guinea since 1982 and served as the country’s First Lady from 1999 to 2002, during her husband Sir Mekere Morauta’s term as Prime Minister. In addition to her advocacy work, she has an impressive professional background, having worked in publishing in England, taught Politics at the University of Ghana, the Australian National University, and Queensland University, and held research roles with the Defence Department in Canberra and the Australian Social Welfare Commission. Enjoy this special bonus episode, and I wish you all a very happy and safe festive season!

  8. SDG3.9 - Reducing Deaths and Illnesses from Hazardous Air, with Dr Bronwyn King AO, Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska and Anna-Maria Arabia

    SDG3.9 - Reducing Deaths and Illnesses from Hazardous Air, with Dr Bronwyn King AO, Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska and Anna-Maria Arabia

    Welcome to Episode 8 of Good Will Hunters in our series on SDG3 – Good Health and Wellbeing. I am your host, Rachel Nunn. This episode is the final in our series and focuses on SDG3.9 – Substantially reducing the number of deaths and illnesses caused by hazardous chemicals, air, water, and soil pollution and contamination. Poor air quality remains a significant health challenge, especially in low- and middle-income countries, where pollution disproportionately impacts vulnerable populations. Today, I’m joined by three exceptional guests: Professor Lidia Morawska, a leading expert on air quality and its health impacts; Dr. Bronwyn King, a globally recognized radiation oncologist and tobacco-free investment advocate; and Anna-Maria Arabia, Chief Executive of the Australian Academy of Science: Dr. Bronwyn King AO – Dr. King is a radiation oncologist and the founder and CEO of Tobacco Free Portfolios, recognized for her work in tobacco control and finance reform. She is also an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for her service to community health​. ​ Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska – Professor Morawska is internationally recognized for her work on air quality and its health impacts. She holds a distinguished professorship, which reflects her contributions to science and public health policy​. Anna-Maria Arabia – Anna-Maria is the Chief Executive of the Australian Academy of Science, known for her leadership in advocating for science and research in Australia and globally​. Together, we’ll explore the intersection of air quality, public health, and policy, discussing both the challenges and the innovations that can help us achieve cleaner air and healthier lives. Indoor air quality gained significant attention during Covid-19, highlighting a critical gap in Australia’s health policies: we have no mandated standards for indoor air quality. Australians spend 90% of our time indoors, yet there are no regulations governing the quality of the air we breathe. Other countries are doing better in this regard, but many are also doing much worse. As we close this series, I want to thank you for joining me on this exploration of SDG3. Australia's role as a major health donor to the region is crucial, and we need a cohesive plan to measure and report on our contributions to these targets. Strengthening health systems will require sustained investment in the health workforce, culturally sensitive care, road safety, and leveraging our incredible domestic R&D capabilities. And above all, we can’t manage what we don’t measure – tracking our progress is essential if we are to make real strides toward achieving good health and wellbeing for all. It’s been a privilege to host this series, and I hope it’s inspired you to think about the work that lies ahead and how we can collectively drive progress. Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoy today’s episode.
