Director - Children's Programs, Gowrie SA

Lyndsey Healy has a career spanning some 20 years across multiple roles and program areas at Gowrie South Australia.

She has experience working directly with children and families as an educator, teacher and service leader, as well as roles in facilitating professional learning and grant-funded projects around parenting and community programs. As a service leader, Lyndsey has authored multiple articles, guided families through legislative, financial and discriminatory barriers, and believes that early childhood education is an educational right of every child. 

"I would like to see a shift in flexible policy approaches and funding models across the sector that are designed to enable rather than restrict access to services so that all families can access services for their children on an equitable basis around individual circumstances. The Apiary Fellowship enables professionals from different parts of the early childhood sector to deconstruct traditionally held professional silos and learn from one another's funds of knowledge."
