Megan joined the FCAV Board in 2017, harnessing her experience as a foster carer since 2013 and wealth of experience across education, government, and community services to engage and advocate for members on the issues that matter most to foster carers and the children and young people in out-of-home care.

Megan has championed good governance and best practice policy-making throughout her time with the FCAV Board and has presented policy advice, reflecting the needs of the out-of-home system, at various government and industry advisory groups and committees.

Through her work in government and with the community services sector, Megan is actively involved in the development of strategies to improve recruitment and retention of foster carers in regional areas and will leverage the insights and lived experience of FCAV members to influence improved support and provision.

Megan brings 20+ years as a successful business owner and a high degree of commercial acumen to highlight the financial pressures on foster carers and the economic needs of the system, lobbying stakeholders across government, industry, and community sectors to raise awareness and influence positive change.

Megan is currently completing a Master of Social Work and holds a Graduate Diploma in Psychology and Bachelor of Business.
