Rosalie 'Rosie' Martin is an accredited facilitator, a clinical speech pathologist with almost 40 years experience, and a criminologist. Long lamenting inequity and inadequacy in services to support those with impaired communication and literacy, in 2013 Rosalie founded a charity, Chatter Matters Tasmania and began the Just Sentences literacy pilot project and Just Time parent-child attachment program in Tasmania's Risdon Prison. To gain better context for bringing speech pathology interventions into justice settings, Rosalie completed a Criminology Honours degree in 2016 and is now undertaking a PhD in Criminology which are focused on understanding the durability of communication messages delivered in learning events such as seminars and workshops. In 2017 Rosie was awarded Tasmanian Australian of the Year for work teaching literacy and communication to prisoners – and those at-risk of prison futures. .  Rosalie was awarded the 2017 Tasmanian Australian of the Year for the work she began at the prison. She is grateful for the platform this recognition has afforded her to speak, raise awareness, educate and champion the cause of language and literacy for all; and to promote the value of kindness in evidence-based service delivery. Rosalie has an interest in communication including the use of written and verbal plain English wherevere possible. Some of you may recall that she presented into the 2017 Property and Commercial Law Conference.
