Sally Stevenson has been the Executive Director of the Illawarra Women’s Health Centre for the past nine years and successfully led the national campaign to establish the Women’s Trauma Recovery Centre. Sally has worked in health and community development for over 30 years and is driven by social and environmental justice imperatives. She loves pristine rivers, blue skies, flowers, and walking.

As Executive Director, Sally has strategically led the Centre to become a dynamic and deeply trusted community-based organisation that offers high quality health and social services and support to all women in the Illawarra and advocates fearlessly on social political and economic issues impacting women in the community.

With qualifications in finance and public health, Sally has amongst other things, worked for Médecins sans Frontiers in conflict zones as Head of Mission and as public health finance expert for the World Health Organisation and the World Bank. She was Assistant General Manager of the first Aboriginal owned and managed financial institution, the Traditional Credit Union.

Sally is the founder and was Chairperson for 17 years of the highly regarded international community development organisation, indigo foundation and has sat on the board of Women’s Health NSW, the peak body for NSW women’s health centres and the Supported Accommodation & Homelessness Services Shoalhaven Illawarra (SASSHI) which is the region’s specialist service for homelessness. In 2014, she was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia for her services to the community both nationally and internationally.
