Description
Sally Goldner: What If... all genders received equal and equitable mental health support?Sally’s human experiences is a trans and bi woman, as a person who sees situations in greater detail than the average, who can examine a situation from different perspectives due to her natural high levels of empathy and who understands mental health issues.
Sally’s skills of vision and strategic planning saw her realise the need for law and policy reform in 1997. Building on work done by amazing pioneers such as Julie Peters and Kayleen White (two people Sally cites strongly as mentors), Sally quickly became a founding committee member of what became Transgender Victoria (TGV) in 1999.
Sally has advised diverse committees and advisory groups including: the LGBTI Police Working Group (and its predecessors); the Victorian government LGBTI Justice; Working Group from 2006-10 and 2015 to present; Hobsons Bay LGBTI Advisory Group (2011-2016); Manningham Mental Health Advisory group (2013-present); and Jewish Community Council of Victoria LGBTI advisory group.
