Madeline has a desire to see children and vulnerable individuals protected and supported. One of the many ways she hopes to do this is through equipping organisations with the tools and knowledge to keep our children safe

Organisations she has worked with to deliver on their Child Safety objectives include CFA Victoria, Belgravia Leisure, Elevate Education, Melaleuca Australia, The Embrace Collective, Kids Under Cover and the NSW Inspector General of Custodial Services. Kathryn is also part of The NSW Guardian Children’s Resources Working Group and Community of Practice for faith-based organisations and was involved in gathering materials and writing submissions for the Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse and Annual Reporting to the National Office of Child Safety.

Ann Morison brings her 30 years’ experience as a Trainer to Child Safe Australia. She has delivered all the Child Safe Australia programs in her 2-years with the organisation so far. Her training sessions are successful due to her ability to be engaging and interactive as well as making it relevant and applicable to the audience. Ultimately her most valuable contribution towards child safe training is because she is a victim survivor of child sexual abuse, experiencing all types of abuse. Her passion is to see zero tolerance of child abuse and is pouring that into helping all organizations do whatever they can to prevent it.

Daniel is a passionate youth advocate and educator. He champions boys across Australia to challenge culture and aspire to live courageous, respectful and empathetic lives.

Daniel is a board member of the DART Institute, an ambassador for the Women’s Resilience Centre and an ambassador for the national campaign Consent Can’t Wait.

Having presented to tens of thousands of young people in every Australian state and territory, Daniel is no stranger to the complex challenges that our distracted digital world presents in adolescence. By partnering with schools and communities, Daniel encourages young people to recognise and resist distorted attitudes towards bodies, relationships and sex. He invites his audiences to instead aspire to healthy relationships built on mutual respect and empathy.

Daniel is a regular guest on TV, radio and podcasts to discuss healthy masculinity, consent, respectful relationships and the cultural challenges young people are facing. None of these evolving challenges sway Daniel’s confidence that all young people can flourish if we create spaces for them to be their best selves.
