Speaking & Media
I make complex policy and reform issues understandable through real-world stories, practical examples and workable solutions.
Across parliamentary hearings, government and industry forums, national media and long-form conversations, I synthesise complex issues, bring different perspectives into the discussion and keep decisions grounded in evidence, ethics and human impact.
FEATURED INTERVIEW · 12 AUGUST 2026
Focal Point: Vision Australia Radio
NDIS reform, housing and better outcomes for people with disability
Following my appearance before the Senate inquiry into NDIS reform, I spoke with Peter Greco about why housing needs to come first, the importance of participant voice in reform, and why sustainable disability housing requires both strong social outcomes and a viable, ethical market.
“People with disability aren’t a commodity to trade. We’re humans.”
Jeramy Hope, Focal Point, Vision Australia Radio
Speaking & public leadership
I speak about what leadership requires when the issues are complex, the stakes are human and the path forward is not obvious. This includes how leaders show up when certainty is limited, pressure is high and people need clarity, honesty and direction.
Drawing on more than 25 years in leadership, including over a decade in executive and governance roles, I bring executive experience, commercial understanding and lived experience to public-purpose challenges. I help audiences cut through noise, test assumptions, understand competing perspectives and move from intent to practical action.
