David Bromhead Email & Phone Number

I have been a qualified teacher and registered psychologist for over 20 years, and my career has spanned a variety of teaching, counselling, policy development and leadership roles. In working directly with students, their families and teachers, I have developed expertise in dealing with young people experiencing distress and who find it difficult to engage at school. I have held a number of senior leadership roles within the ACT Education Directorate including as Senior Manager Student Wellbeing and simultaneously as Principal of Murrumbidgee Education and Training Centre (at Bimberi Youth Justice Centre). In these roles I have led the development of policy responses to suspension, safe and supportive schools, violence, problematic sexualised behaviours, social emotional learning, and responding to potential violent extremism amongst students. I have also led the ACT School Psychology Service and the Network Student Engagement Teams (multi-disciplinary teams responding to complex student issues in schools). I was a key driver in forging a partnership with the Australian National University to develop the Australian School Climate and School Identification Measurement Tool. Dave has also contributed to numerous journal and book publications on school climate.As Senior Manager Strategic Policy, in the ACT Education Directorate I supported the development of the Future of Education Strategy, providing direction for the ACT education system over the next 10 years.As co-founder of Wellbeing EDvantage I draw upon this extensive practical and policy experience to deliver training and consultancy services to individuals and organisations.
