Issues’ management and reputation management

had carriage of all publications, media, events and campaigns.
As part of this role, Jane implemented her vision for a
Health Media Club, secured a new health and wellness category
in the Queensland Clarion Awards run by the MEAA, and brokered
the 612 ABC Swap It challenge.
As media manager for AgForce during 2008-2009, Jane was working on Every Family Needs A Farmer rural image campaign and overseeing media advocacy across a broad range of issues including new regrowth and reef regulations.
In 2005-2007, Jane developed a sustained media and political lobbying strategy with successive Australian Dental Association Queensland Branch presidents which eventually led to the Queensland Government moving to introduce water fluoridation, decades after it became commonplace in other capital cities.
Ongoing and since 2002, Jane has led the sustained public awareness campaign which was part of an ongoing four-pronged Australian Banana Growers’ Council strategy to ensure Australian industry concerns about disease risks of Philippine banana imports were appropriately incorporated into the Import Risk Analysis process.
In 2005, Jane undertook high-level media advocacy work for the Queensland Citrus Growers Inc which led to compensation being awarded to central Queensland citrus growers impacted by the citrus canker incursion in Emerald from sources unknown.
In 2005-2007, Jane developed and implemented an integrated communications strategy for the Leading Sheep project which was acknowledged by all partners – Australian Wool Innovation, Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries, and AgForce.
While working for the Minister for Primary Industries, Jane helped develop the media strategy to manage the discovery and control of fire ants in south-east Queensland in 2001.
Jane believes in providing credible, accurate and timely information to the media in order to maintain client integrity and profile.
