About

"Gillian pioneered a new era of children's advocacy in Australia-establishing the nation's first Children's Commission, championing children's voices in decision-making and driving national and international reforms that recognised children as active citizens with the right to be heard" - Carmel Tebbutt, former NSW Deputy Premier
