Frances is an executive leader, advisor, and storyteller who has spent more than a decade shaping how government and community services show up for people — especially those navigating complexity, disability, and moments of vulnerability. Known for her clarity, warmth, and ability to cut through noise, she brings a rare blend of operational expertise, human insight, and practical reform experience.

Across senior roles in the National Disability Insurance Agency and frontline community work, Frances has led high‑performing teams, driven major service delivery improvements, and championed more inclusive, human‑centred systems. Her work spans complex support needs, workforce capability, stakeholder engagement, and large‑scale operational change.

As the founder of Conversations That Create Change, Frances helps organisations lift the quality of their conversations — internally, with communities, and across government. She advises on leadership, service design, HR practice, and the everyday interactions that build trust, clarity, and confidence.

Her speaking style is grounded, generous, and unmistakably real. She brings stories from the frontline, insights from executive leadership, and a deep belief that better conversations create better outcomes — and, ultimately, better systems.
