It’s great to be working as a policy advocate to advance the interests of Australia’s independent #SkillsTraining and #HigherEducation providers as they set about the training and reskilling of Australia’s workforce. Strengthening the relationship between our members, Ministers and the business community is rewarding.
I enjoy working with peak business organisations and I’ve been fortunate in that the roles I have been asked to take-up let me guide the membership through the process of strengthening an association’s policy advocacy capacity. At the same time membership expands as a result of new service delivery. This experience has proven invaluable as I work with the elected leadership of industry associations to set the strategy and delivery pathways that has allowed the organisations to grow, serve their members and have a voice at parliamentary and departmental levels.
Naturally, a major part of my work has been media and issues management, frequently referenced in news media such as the AFR and The Australian.
In November 2018 I accepted the appointment of Chief Executive Officer at theI Independent Tertiary Education Council Australia (ITECA), the peak body representing the independent tertiary education sector in Australia. ITECA is a strong advocate to ensure that government fosters an environment where the independent tertiary education sector can innovate, grow and meet the expectations of students and business. This is achieved through the delivery of certification programs plus building collaborative relationships with stakeholders in the education sector, business community and government.
Beyond my role with ITECA, I contribute to efforts to secure pro-business reforms to the technical, regulatory and commercial environment via appointments to a number of forums and government committees. These include the General Council of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI).
