Wendy Cream

Wendy is committed to promoting the rights of all to have a meaningful and purposeful life, regardless of their circumstances. She has worked for the last 40 years both in government and non-government positions with many vulnerable communities in both rural/remote and metropolitan settings. The people she has worked with include First Nations people, the aged, those experiencing and perpetrating Family Violence, young children, those affected by mental health issues and currently as a mediator for separated families regarding children and property matters. Wendy’s Lived/living experience of being a family member, as a partner and currently as a mother, of mental health and drug and alcohol issues, has reinforced her continued resolve to see all people with mental health issues to be identified as individuals first, who have many needs, and for services to respond as such, in a manner that values others and includes them in the development of any care afforded to them.
