Chelsea believes all victim survivors of domestic and family violence deserve best practice services and support. She is passionate about providing the highest possible standard of care, particularly to marginalised people and is dedicated to ensuring that all children and young people are heard and understood as victim survivors in their own right. During her time at Safe Steps she has led significant organisational change to ensure all people can access family violence services, and produced an impact film called “Unanswered Calls” shining a light on of young people who are virtually invisible in the family violence system.

With an incredible career spanning both the corporate and not-for profit sectors, Chelsea has led organisations as a CEO, Director, Non-Executive Director. Chelsea has worked across family services, child protection, domestic violence and disability as well as an economist in strategy and mergers and acquisitions at large corporates and professional services. Chelsea has a wealth of experience leading and empowering teams to deliver large scale socially and commercially impactful projects and forging powerful partnerships.

Chelsea and her husband have been foster carers for more than ten years, experiencing first-hand the impact of family violence on young lives and advocating for long-term, meaningful solutions.
