Jacqui is driven by her love of helping people to achieve their best. In communities this involves community engagement, advocating for social justice and developing inclusive plans and programs. In organisations this is through developing successful teams and working with individuals to meet their goals. Jacqui loves building the capacity of individuals and groups, setting people up for success.

She is effective at building and advising local government on ways to strengthen partnerships between community groups and allied health partners to create a holistic health planning and service delivery model.

With a background in local government, Jacqui has direct experience in leading the development and implementation of Reconciliation Action Plans; the coordination and delivering of Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plans and the coordination of Disability Action Plans.

With comprehension of Council’s budgetary cycles, she understands both the implications of a rate constrained environment, and the need to partner and advocate to improve population health.

Jacqui spends most of her free time with her husband and two young boys. She is a huge musical theatre fan and loves spending weekends at the theatre or watching her beloved Saints play.
