In-conversation with Australian writer and Broadcaster, Benjamin Law

From writing acclaimed books (The Family Law), to creating hit television, to fronting national conversations on identity, representation and culture — Benjamin Law has carved out a career that is as fearless as it is inspiring.

In this special Screen Presence session, we’ll explore his journey:
🔹 How he built a voice across books, television, radio and journalism
🔹 The challenges — and opportunities — of being a Chinese Australian creative
🔹 What drives his storytelling and advocacy for representation
🔹 His advice for emerging writers, performers and creatives navigating their own paths
Benjamin’s story is a testament to ingenuity, creativity and conviction — qualities that echo the values of the Chinese Australian Achievers Awards and the new Journeys to Achievement series.
Join us as Benjamin reflects on how he got here, and what it takes to forge a career that’s bold, original and deeply impactful.
