A passionate advocate for better housing outcomes, Emma held the role of Manager of Strategic Projects with Q Shelter for the past three years. She is well versed in the interplay between government, community, and private sectors and comes to us highly endorsed by her own, and our other state and territory colleagues.

Emma’s appointment comes at a critical time in both the industry’s and the organisation’s development, with the retirement of our formidable and long-standing Executive Officer, Adrian Pisarski. Adrian will stay on with us until early April 2022 to ensure a smooth transition in this important pre-election period. It’s often said that Adrian’s retirement will leave big shoes to fill, and so we are very fortunate to have secured in Emma an outstanding new CEO who can both “walk the walk and talk the talk!
