There is no one more expert and talented in Community Engagement in this Country than Amanda Tattersall, a master practitioner in Community Engagement.

Violet Roumeliotis, CEO Settlement Services International and 2017 Telstra Australian Business Woman of the Year

Amanda is the leading practitioner-academic in the social change ecosystem globally. No-one else has her ability to synthesise complex conceptual frameworks with the lived experience of diverse international changemakers, creating new knowledge and praxis that is highly influential both in the academy and with civil society actors.

Jonathan Cox, Deputy Director Citizens UK (largest community organising network in the UK)

Her dedication to sharing power with purpose, she’s brought many communities together to focus on their commonalities while acknowledging differences. That authenticity and reality is what drives Amanda to collectively bring trust with hope and courage in action.

Maha Abdo OAM, CEO Muslim Women’s Australia

Amanda is a one of a kind when it comes to relationship building. She moves between a church group, a Muslim women’s meeting and unions with flow. We never would have found these relationships and researchers but for Amanda and her ability to align interests and build relationships in creative and unusual ways.

Mel Gatfield National Director, New Organising, United Workers Union

Amanda Tattersall is an outstanding contributor to social sciences in Australia because she bridges between academia and social practice. She has an outstanding record of doing so because of her remarkable leadership experience in social movements and her analytical work.
