Originally from France, Anne has been calling Perth her home since 2012. With a Master's Degree in Public Law and Social Sciences, Anne has worked and volunteered in the community sector for different not-for-profits for more than 12 years across both Australia and Europe.

As a child, Anne always had a strong sense of social justice, always advocating for people's rights to be upheld, so it's no surprise she joined the Australian Inclusion Group nine years ago to work with Inclusion Solution's partner entity Inclusion WA, as a Mentor and Coordinator working alongside people with disability. Now, Anne sits with us, here at Inclusion Solutions, as the project lead for one of our exciting new projects developing an online learning course around disability and inclusion.

When she's not at work, you can find Anne out and about, hiking one of the many trails around WA with her partner and fur babies. Passionate about the environment, and a self-professed eco-warrior, Anne loves connecting with others and attending beach clean ups, tree-planting days, and has recently returned to study a Diploma of Sustainable Living with the University of Tasmania.

Kimberley has a Bachelor of Science in occupational therapy with clinical experience across residential aged care, neuro-rehabilitation, and paediatrics. However, she has spent most of her professional career working in the community development and engagement space with involvement in broad-level projects both in Perth and Central Australia. Kimberley feels very privileged to have worked alongside multiple communities on projects supporting stronger access and inclusion outcomes for people.

Kimberley has a strong sense of social justice and cares deeply about inclusion, with a specific interest in children’s and women’s rights and wellbeing. She takes a collaborative approach in her work with a firm belief that positive authentic relationships underpin all successful community development initiatives.

When Kimberley isn’t at work, she’s likely to have loungeroom dance parties with her toddler, be down by the beach, meandering in nature, or cook with absolute disregard for recipes. She also studies photography in her spare time and has a passion for film and writing.

With a Bachelor of Psychology and a deep fascination for the mind and brain, Nicholas (Nick) brings both academic insight and genuine passion to his work. After three years as a mentor with Inclusion WA, he is deeply committed and rooted in the work of disability inclusion, gaining valuable experience and practical understanding that he now contributes to the Inclusion Solutions team.

Having played both cricket, footy, and tennis his whole life, Nick is passionate about sports. During the summer months, he plays A-grade cricket for Leederville, and during the winter months, he plays footy for Coolbinia Amateur Football Club. He is also volunteering on the committee for Leederville Cricket Club.

When he's not at work, Nick is either playing or watching sport, walking his dog along the beach or road tripping down south to relax and unwind in WA's Great Southern region.

Amanda has a strong foundation in Education, Community Services, and Sport with qualifications in Event, Sport and Recreation Management, Education, Community Services, and Training and Assessment.

Amanda is a devoted England supporter (even at 3am kick‑offs), and has played football since childhood. She is also a big sports fan in general, sometimes travelling for sporting events such as the UFC live in Singapore or watching the reigning champions, England women’s team in Brisbane for the Women’s World Cup.

In her spare time, she enjoys the beach with family and friends, DIY projects around the house and being in nature.

Marg joined Inclusion Solutions in October 2024, as the Project Lead for the Mandurah Wayfairers, when she retired from full time work in the education sector. As an already committed volunteer in the community, she finds it deeply meaningful to now support others in finding their place within the community.

Marg has dedicated her life to volunteering because she believes in the power of community and the responsibility we each carry to lift one another.

She is deeply passionate about connecting people with causes that matter to them, and is excited to help grow the reach and impact of our volunteer groups.

Alan joined Inclusion Solutions in 2025 as the Project Lead for the Kwinana Wayfairers. Once retired, Alan felt disconnected. He found the absence of daily interactions and a work community to be challenging, a common feeling among adults who enter retirement.

This led Alan to explore volunteering, where he discovered a new sense of purpose and fulfilment. Alan is a valuable member of the Kwinana community and passionate about connecting people with fulfilling volunteer opportunities.
