Team Leader and partner in managing all adoptions in the ACT including local step-parent and intercountry adoptions.

In July 2016, I was selected to establish a 6-member team to resource a new area with special needs within Child Protection, requiring sensitivity to unique and sometimes challenging family situations.

Team Leader role specialising Transition and Permanency. This was an egaging and acting role utilising established knowledge of effective processes for managing complex cases and relationships with service providers, as well as broad networks across the sector.

Employed in an Allocations/Quality Assurance Officer role which required extensive external liaison and hands-on monitoring of the options for children with high needs, I kept staff informed and relied on my networks to action the best options.
