My primary interest at the present time is promoting the contribution of community housing provider organisations (CHPs) to the well-being of those in need in Australia. I was pleased to be assisted in pursuing this goal by my appointment in 2018 to the Board of the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC.gov.au) a Commonwealth sponsored corporation that has powers that include the ability to fund and develop the capacity of CHPs. My 3 year term on the NHFIC board ended in July 2021.Other board and pro bono roles:I am Co-Chair of Under 1 Roof a consortium of housing and homelessness agencies that collaborate in Brisbane.In November 2022 I was pleased to be appointed as a director on the board of Uniting Vic Tas which operates in Victoria and Tasmania.BHC and before:My role at Brisbane Housing Company (BHC) was as founding CEO. I helped create and then led that start up organization for its first 15 years of growth. For over 40 years I have been committed to provision of housing for those in housing need and on low incomes. At earlier stages of my career I performed senior management roles across all functions within a “not for dividend” housing organization, including development, finance, tenancy management and support services, I also worked at a senior level in the regulation branch of the Housing Corporation the Government agency in England which had responsibility for funding and supervising the affordable housing sector.
