let’s explore options
project management
You might have a great project in mind but don’t have the staff or expertise to oversee and deliver that project effectively. I can manage projects both big and small, and look after all elements of the project for you, including administration, planning, community engagement, working with your team/s, evaluation and whatever else you can think of. Previous project management work:
RESPOND - 5-year children’s health and wellbeing project funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council
Walk to School program - delivered over the month of October and funded by VicHealth
Small scale infrastructure projects - Children’s Garden and Dog Park
Community-Based Participatory Action Research Project - Local People, Local Food Solutions
strategic planning
Writing a good plan is a lot of work, often which organisational staff don’t have time for. I have experience writing various health and wellbeing reports and plans and look forward to the many more I will be involved with. Previous strategic planning work:
Rural City of Wangaratta Walking and Cycling Strategy
Rural City of Wangaratta Council Plan/ Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan
Alpine Active Living Mapping Report
Integrated Health Promotion Plans and Reports
coaching and mentoring
You might like to take the lead on your project but just need some support, whether that be through resource sharing, capacity building, or skill development. Previous coaching work:
Capacity building of council and health promotion staff for the delivery of community workshops, systems thinking, and use of implementation science.
Capacity building of community groups to apply for community grants
Community -Based Participatory Action Research - capacity building and champion building of community members with lived experience of food insecurity.
fund sourcing
We all know that without money we can’t achieve a whole lot. Finding the money is often half the battle. My experience with exploring different avenues of funds and applying for grants (which have been successful) will help you with finding the money that you need for your dream projects. Previous fund sourcing work:
Infrastructure and Analysis grants - Traffic Accident Commission
Recreational Infrastructure grants - Sports and Recreation Victoria
Health Promotion Programs - VicHealth
Active Travel grants - Department of Transport
guest speaking and workshops
With my experience comes useful skills I like to share with others. If you are looking for advice and/or inspiration on any of the following areas, I’d be happy to put something together for you:
Health Promotion Practice and Evaluation
Implementation Science
Systems Thinking
Community Engagement
Strengthening Partnerships
Grant writing
