I want to live in an Australia that is fair for all, particularly First Nations Australians. At SVA I can work with organisations to understand and improve their impact, and create positive change for all communities, to move toward this goal.

Annabel is a Manager in the Consulting team, with experience in strategy development, evaluation, outcomes measurement, financial modelling and organisational effectiveness.

Annabel has worked alongside non-profit, corporate and government clients, supporting them to understand and improve their social impact. Annabel has a particular passion for supporting First Nations clients and end beneficiaries, to work towards improving outcomes for all communities and closing the gap.
