Alex Conway

Alex has worked in health promotion, disability and community services across government, corporate and the not for profit sectors for more than 20 years. This has included working extensively to support First Nations and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities across Australia. He joined White Ribbon Australia in November 2022 as Primary Prevention Partner, having previously supported the movement and its goal to end all forms of men’s violence against women and children as an active Community Partner since 2020.

Alex understands the need of mobilising men and boys to adopt new behaviours and attitudes in order to effect change by using a health promotion lens. He also has a strong sense of place-based community engagement.

Primary prevention, according to Alex, is essential to making lasting change, and by reflecting on past experiences that were supported by research, we may change gender-based norms that promote disrespect and injustice and have a beneficial influence on the future.
