Leadership, Resilience and Partnership
His Excellency The Honourable Jay Weatherill AO, Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom in Conversation with Britain–Australia Chair Damian Walsh.
In this business-focused discussion, Australian High Commissioner and former South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill joins Britain–Australia Society Chair Damian Walsh to examine how political and economic leadership experience informs his role in London.
The conversation covers South Australia’s transition beyond automotive manufacturing, attraction of defence, space and renewable energy investment, and the policy challenges of healthcare reform and mental health demand.
The High Commissioner also reflects on emerging opportunities for UK–Australia collaboration in investment attraction, skills and workforce mobility, and innovation in models of care, offering practical insights for business, policymakers and institutional partners.
