A strategic and highly experienced practitioner, Claire brings strong facilitation, training and stakeholder engagement expertise.

"The National Code provides a significant opportunity to lead the prevention of gender-based violence through sector-wide change. Universities and higher-education institutions are uniquely placed to shape the attitudes, behaviours and cultures of students and staff, while positioning themselves as leaders in prevention.
