I have been a Communities that Care (Australia) Director since 2008 as a youth health and safety expert with particular expertise in unintentional and intentional injury, community engagement, and health sector knowledge, training, course design, media liaison, public advice giving and multi-cultural outreach.
Passionate, committed, courageous and task focused with a sensitive, caring approach and a genuine ability to quickly gain rapport and communicate with people at all levels and ethnicity.
In my role at The Royal Children's Hospital Safety Centre Australia's first internationally designated Affiliate Safe Community Support Centre of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Centre on Community Safety Promotion) I have attended several designations of communities’ ceremonies as an ISC in Australia and several countries overseas.
In the over two decades at the Affiliate Support Centre I have been involved in a number of desktop reviews and a large number of site visits from an observer’s perspective or community safety practitioner and participant. I have worked closely with local governments throughout their application for ISC accreditation and provided ongoing support to these local governments. I have presented on the ISC criteria and process to local, national and international Safety Centre guests and Local Governments that have been interested in exploring the ISC for Council staff, and now have continued to do so in my role as Executive Officer for the Victorian Safe Communities Network (VSCN).
I have supported the initiation, development and writing of reports. I have read many ISC reports and reviewed eleven in total.
Total number of designation ceremonies actively participated in: many.
