Facilitator:
We are thrilled to announce that the wonderful Julie McCrossin will be the conference facilitator.
Julie McCrossin is renowned across Australia for her warmth, humour, intelligence, professionalism and commitment to justice and diversity.
While Julie has a strong public profile in Australia as a radio broadcaster, a TV personality and a print journalist, she is also in demand as a professional MC, hosting and facilitating conferences, panel discussions, workshops, meetings and seminars, and as a public speaker.
Julie presented the social issues program Life Matters on ABC Radio National for 5 years, initially with Geraldine Doogue and then as solo presenter. Prior to Life Matters, Julie was a team leader on the media quiz show Good News Week on Network Ten and on ABC TV.
Julie began working for the ABC back in 1983 on the women’s radio program The Coming Out Show. She’s presented many Radio National programs including Background Briefing and Arts National, as well as stints on ABC Rural Radio and 702ABC Sydney.
Julie has worked as a TV reporter for both the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and ANZAC DAY… and she’s thrilled to live in a country where it is possible to do both. But her proudest media moment was her appearance on ABC TV’s Play School as a silent clown called Plain Jane.
Julie has worked as a children’s entertainer, literacy teacher and community legal educator. She has university qualifications in the arts, education and law.
In November 2005, ABC Books published Forever Yours: Australia’s Hidden Love Letters edited by Julie McCrossin and Kerrie Jean Ross with a foreword by Thomas Keneally.
