Josie commenced her professional career as a Speech Pathologist working in Health and then began her interest in leadership over 25 years ago. She obtained her MBA and has undertaken other leadership training via the GLF(Governors Leadership Foundation 12 month leadership course) in South Australia and more recently completed the Company Directors Course.

Josie has led significant pieces of work within organisations facing reform initially in Health in NSW, Vic and South Australia and then in Ageing and now the Disability space. She has had significant experience in developing high performing teams that can adapt to the changing VUCA environment to embrace the reforms and pivot their services to this changing environment. Josie is passionate about ensuring quality services are provided to Australians facing challenge and ensuring client services and staff thrive in these changing environments to create sustainable sector reform.
