About the facilitators

Sharon Fraser
B.App. Sci (SP); MBus (man.); GAICD; Salzburg Global Seminar Fellow

Sharon works to support the design and implementation of collaborative practice with communities, government, peak bodies, business, NGOs and services to build a united action for social change.

Sharon’s deep, on-the-ground experience in implementation of Collective Impact, systems change and collaborative practice within the Australian context has informed her participatory and strength-based approach using methods designed for:

building collaborative governance and practice
building structures, processes, mindsets and equity for systems change
giving voice to people in community including those experiencing social vulnerability or exploring change, through reflection and analysis, and
exploring power and developing ways to share power to achieve improved social outcomes.

Previous executive roles in health, community health and local government, have focused on leading and supporting transformational change within services and community.

Sharon has deep experience in assisting people and organisations to hear and understand diverse voices to develop a shared aspiration, plan and implement a way forward and learn while doing.
