I’v always been acutely aware of
I’ve
w
what a privilege it is to have had the
childhood I did, unencumbered by the
ch
anxiety, pain and trauma that many
an
children face. Berry Street allows me
ch
to try to change the conditions of
cchildhood
ch
h
for all children, and to give
hope

ho
o and support to those kids for
whom childhood is a tough road.

Berry Street works hard at the
coalface for our kids, but also
sees the bigger picture. Society
needs to change and evidence
needs to drive improvement in
services so young people in care
do not keep missing out on life’s
opportunities. Berry Street
gets that.

I have had the privilege of working
with Berry Street from early in my
career as a child protection worker.
I have always been impressed with
Berry Street’s commitment to work
with clients to prevent harm to
children, or if that is unable to be
achieved to work tirelessly to try
to ameliorate the impact of that
harm on their future lives. Playing
a role on the Board allows me to
