“Building capability has always been a focus for me because if our people aren't good, how are we going to deliver outcomes, how are we going meet the expectations of not only the agency and the sector but of the community?”
Jillian is a proud Noongar woman with cultural connections to Whadjuk and Ballardong. She took on the role of Director Aboriginal Engagement and Partnerships at the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation for the 12 months of the initiative.
She says it’s given her the skills and support to succeed in an executive role, and has her thinking about the potential of future generations of women and building their capability to step into this space.
“This has been a big springboard for me and an amazing opportunity for women across the sector. I feel really privileged to have been a part of it.”
