Rosie has completed the Certificate IV in Community Housing and has worked in the Community Housing sector since January 2023. In her roles she has had a particular focus on homelessness interventions and support.  With her own lived experience of homelessness, Rosie was motivated to join the Metro board to continue to advocate for people who are currently homeless or are at risk of homelessness.  As Metro’s youngest director Rosie is also interested in representing the experience of young  people and the particular challenges they face in finding affordable and secure housing.  

I have been a Director of Metro Housing since 2008. In my most recent career role I was a researcher at the Social Policy Research Centre at UNSW with a particular interest in policies and programs across several jurisdictions that sought to integrate accommodation, mental health and disability support. I designed and conducted evaluations of these programs. I have been a queer and disability activist for many decades, fighting for rights and freedoms and giving governance to movement organisations. I’m very proud of Metro’s progress over the period of my directorship, and my association with, and contribution to its achievements.
