• Design & deliver workshops, forums and information sessions for community groups, LHDs, SHNs, NGOs, NFPs and peak bodies.
• Collaborate with NSW Health teams, community organisations and advocacy groups to co-create solutions.
• Track & analyse engagement data and feedback to inform strategy and continuously improve outcomes.
• Develop resources, briefs and awareness materials that build capability and program understanding across NSW Health.

• Has proven expertise in consumer engagement such as supporting patients, carers, families.
• Holds relevant tertiary qualifications or has equivalent experience in a related field.
• Brings leadership skills that inspire trust, collaboration and positive change.
• Excels in clear, confident communication with both internal and external stakeholders.
