Andrew (aka Drew) is always the first person to lend a hand in any situation. He has close to 20 years experience working in the health sector – he’s been a paramedic, physiotherapist, and has even designed frameworks to improve client treatment and care.

Problem solving and finding a better way is always a common theme with Drew, who has worked for large agencies like Ambulance Victoria and the Alfred Hospital, as well as smaller health practices.

Drew’s direct experiences in health ensure his approach is considerate of both perspectives; that is advocating for improved outcomes for consumers, while balancing strategic direction and funding obligations for agencies. Drew is passionate about having the often difficult conversations about health to ensure the system remains focused on prevention, promotion and care.

Drew is also very much a handyman who has created many of Conversation Caravan’s impressive props. While he’s not on Pinterest or Instagram himself, he likes it when his props are re-Pinned! He also built our popular caravan April.

When not in the shed or in the field, Drew is rowing or coaching rowers. He has spent 17 years sitting on sporting club committees, liaising with Council and integrating the club into the community.
