Jill Byrnes
I completed a Master of Development Management in 1993, after previous qualifications in the Humanities and Adult Education. After a brief stint in the Commonwealth public service, I set up a management consulting business, specialising in non-profit, community-based organisations. I moved to Kununurra in the Kimberley in 1994 and continued the consulting business there for 9 years, gaining a great deal of experience with Indigenous organisations and government departments. My work includes community development facilitation, corporate governance training and facilitation, strategic planning, conducting consultations on behalf of government departments, preparing culturally-appropriate training/information materials, and writing funding submissions and annual reports. In 2003 my husband and I moved to the Hervey Bay area of Queensland, and have continued the consultancy business here. I find my work very rewarding and worthwhile.
