In a career spanning over 20 years I have developed expertise in Consumer Protection Law, especially surrounding domestic building. In the course of my work in this area I have lead and participated in State and National enquiries and policy development at the highest level. I have represented the State Government in discussions with key stakeholders, facilitated reviews of legislation, provided expert advice to minister on legislative change and compliance advice to industry, internal staff and management. I have delivered seminars on legislative changes to in-house and external parties, all with the aim of negotiated change in industry behaviour in collaboration with other experts and advisers. A highlight of my career to date has been the analysis of the systemic problems in the building industry, representing Consumer Affairs Victoria and leading round-table discussions about consumer protection issues in the building industry, resulting in standard form contract proposals, new legislation (Domestic Building Contracts Act) and a new insurance policy regime.
