Suzanne Colbert Am, Gaicd Email & Phone Number

From a clipboard in my lounge room I conceptualised, developed and grew the Australian Network on Disability (AND). AND pioneered the role of business in inclusion of people with disability. Today, one in 6 Australian employees works for an AND member. I'm pleased to be continuing to consult to AND on the Accessible Procurement Taskforce. Having been appointed to the board of Living My Way, I am keen to contribute my expertise in stakeholder engagement, strategy, governance and risk management to other organisations. I am enthusiastic about helping employees with disability progress their careers through coaching and mentoring as well as assisting executive champions to be changemakers in their organisations.Suzanne’s significant experience combined with her foresight to create systemic change, led her to contribute to many Federal and State Governments advisory committees including the National People with Disability and Carer Council; the Australian Human Rights Commission Reference Group on Willing to Work: A National Inquiry into Employment Discrimination Against Older Australian and Australians with Disability; the NSW Disability Employment Advisory Committee (Advisory to NSW Public Service Commission); the Disability Employment Service Reference Group and the City of Sydney’s Inclusion (Disability) Advisory Panel.In 2010, Suzanne was awarded an AM in the Australia Day Honours list. In 2013, she was inducted into Disability Employment Australia’s Hall of Fame and was included in the AFR/Westpac 100 Women of Influence. Suzanne is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and Patron of Achilles Running Club in Australia.
