Dr Hedieh Mirahmadi met with several Australian officials, including Leader of the Opposition Malcolm Turnball, to discuss the government's preventing violent extremism initiatives and to provide guidance on methodologies which are working throughout Europe. Other meetings include a private visit with the Archbishop of Melbourne, His Grace Denis Hart, and the Attorney's General staff focused on the violent extremism portfolio. The group also held several grassroots outreach events including a program at the Theosophical Society and the School of Meditation and Yoga Ashram.
