Co-CEO

Jackie brings over a decade of experience supporting community-led, values-driven organisations working at the intersection of climate justice, First Nations justice and community resilience.

She has held senior leadership roles including Acting CEO and COO of the Kimberley Aboriginal Women’s Council, whose work has been recognised nationally and internationally as a powerful model for First Nations gender justice and self-determination, Interim COO at Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network, and Head of Communications at The Difference Incubator. Across these roles, Jackie has supported organisations through start-up, transition and periods of rapid growth, bringing together strategy, operations, fundraising, governance, communications and culture to help organisations stabilise, grow and remain accountable to community.

Over her career, Jackie has helped secure more than $10 million for community-led initiatives and has been an early advocate for social entrepreneurship, working to develop business models that centre communities and environments.

She has recently completed a Master’s in Sustainability focused on resilience and complex social and ecological systems. She is a published author in this space and is passionate about translating complex ideas into practical insights that help communities not just respond to crises, but thrive over the long-term.

Co-CEO

Tracey has spent more than a decade building movements, organisations and coalitions from the ground up, often in moments of complexity, crisis or rapid change. Her work has often sat at the intersection of climate justice, social justice, First Nations self-determination and LGBTIQ+ advocacy, with a strong focus on shifting power to and building power with people with lived experience and supporting community-led leadership.

Tracey has convened thousands of people across civil society—from grassroots communities to philanthropists—and led organisations from start-up through to stability, supporting advocacy movements to grow their impact, resilience and reach. Her leadership roles have included CEO of GiveOUT (now Rainbow Giving Australia), Strategic Projects Director at Australian Progress, Deputy Director at the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, and Head of Philanthropy at Tripple.

She brings deep experience in strategy, movement building, advocacy and governance, and is particularly interested in how communities organise, care for each other, and sustain momentum over the long term. Alongside her role at DisasterWISE, Tracey works in philanthropy and systems change, supporting organisations and movements to do work that is durable, values-led and grounded in community. She also sits on the board of Environment Victoria.
