Ipswich and West Moreton Region Child Protection Week 2025 Gala Dinner and Awards Presentation
The Awards aim to raise awareness and highlight the importance of child protection in our communities, while at the same time recognising the efforts, programs, services and achievements that individuals and organisations have accomplished.
This years Guest Speaker will be Keely Walsh. Keely is an Accredited Clinical Social Worker, holding a Masters of Advanced Social Work. She is also a graduate of Harvard Medical Schools Global Mental Health: Trauma Recovery Masters certificate program. From a young age, Keely was always drawn to being of service to others. After experiencing childhood adversity and sexual violence, it became her personal mission to break the cycle of dysfunction and create a career that made a positive difference in how to work with and support people from all walks of life.
Keely identifies as an Indigenous Australian, coming from a long linage of Palawa people. Her family history consists of intergenerational trauma, which has resulted in incidences of family violence, imprisonment, mental health, and problematic substance use issues. Keely has appeared in ABC articles to discuss the impacts of sexual violence, as well as consulting with That's Life Magazine to assist with raising awareness of abuse and give survivors a safe platform to share their stories.
