Georgina Harrisson
Georgina Harrisson is the CEO of AMPLIFY, a non-partisan, community-driven organisation tackling a fundamental challenge: the system is no longer working for everyday Australians. With over 20 years in government reform and policy leadership, Georgina has transformed public service delivery across education, disability, and social policy—from shaping the NDIS to leading Australia’s largest education system. Having worked at the highest levels of the UK Prime Minister’s Delivery Unit, the Australian Federal Government, and NSW Government, she brings a rare perspective on whether systems should be rebuilt from within or torn down and reimagined.
Sunrise Sessions
Some institutions feel too slow, too outdated, too resistant to change. Do we tear them down and start again, or work from within to reform them? From government to finance to education, history is full of rebels and reformers - some who burned the old order to the ground, others who reshaped it from the inside. But which approach actually works? In this debate, radical disruptors go head-to-head with patient reformers to uncover what it really takes to change a broken system - and whether we’re better off lighting the match or picking up the tools.
