Angie’s career spans over 30 years as a health practitioner, business owner, policy adviser, senior executive, executive coach and board member in the hospitality, health, education, disability and community service industries. She has held positions in the government, not-for-profit and private sectors in Tasmania and Western Australia.

After attaining a Master in Leadership and Management, Angie fulfilled a number of senior management positions, initially with the Disability Services Commission and then as CEO of Therapy Focus, which she established in 1998. In 2015, Angie received the Telstra WA Businesswoman of the Year Award, along with the Social Purpose and Social Enterprise Award.

Over the years, she has served on a number of boards, government task forces and ministerial advisory committees and is currently Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a Director of Holyoake and WANADA.

I joined Interchange in January 2015 and am Chair of the Governance Committee and Deputy Chair of the Board. Whilst my initial career was in banking and finance, over the past 10 years, I've moved into senior leadership roles in the NFP sector, and enjoy the various aspects of the governance of charities and supporting people in need across our communities. 

I currently head up an employer advocacy body for 150 NFPs in WA and am a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors with a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Sydney. Outside of work and Interchange, my main interests centre around family, golf and travel, some of which I try to combine when the opportunity presents.

He has also served as a Responsible Manager on several AFS Licences.

I'm a strong advocate for people with disability - having being raised by a mother with polio who never let her disability define her or limit her achievements. I joined the Interchange board in mid 2018, and I also work in the disability space, my current role being Head of Brand, Marketing and Communications at APM, one of the world's leading human services organisations.

I have over 20 years' experience in marketing and communications across an array of sectors and I also sit on the boards of Artrage (Fringeworld) and Block Branding.

On the non-work front I have an equally arts-obsessed husband and two teenage children - we spend our time at their sporting events, on our family farm down south or at galleries, shows and arts festivals.

I’m a new Director and looking forward to contributing to the Board and Community of Interchange. I run my own legal practice and specialise in commercial and governance matters. Before I became a lawyer I volunteered and cared for people with cerebral palsy, and that experience has always made me want to continue to contribute to the disability sector. I have a Bachelor of Arts/ Law, as well as a Masters of Law.

My husband and I live in Northbridge with our fur baby, Hamish McGruff. I’m not a Perth local, I’m actually from Melbourne. I’ve lived and worked in the UK, Italy, Sydney, Canberra and Darwin, so I understand how confronting change (particularly change out of our control) can be. I’m outgoing and love a challenge, I’m looking forward to understanding what support you want, and how I can support change to enable that for you.
