Early Childhood and School Education Group
Department of Education and Training
Bronwyn is an Australian civil servant based in Melbourne, Australia. In her current role, she manages the office of the deputy secretary responsible for the early childhood and school education policy and program design, in the Department of Education and Training. The office is responsible for the provision of strategic, policy, and administrative advice to the deputy secretary. She has held this and other roles with the State Government of Victoria since 2007, and prior to this held a range of international policy and research roles. A career highlight to date was being seconded to the International Relations Division of the Metropolitan City of Busan in 2014. She holds a doctoral degree and two undergraduate degrees - a Bachelor of Arts (International Studies, Spanish) and a Bachelor of Social Science (Honours) - from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Melbourne. Her doctoral research examined the conflicting policy debates over housing affordability and environmental sustainability (in particular climate change) as a problem of distributive justice. This research drew on the work of the late John Rawls's Justice as Fairness theory, and Amartya Sen's capabilities approach, and was driven by a longstanding personal interest in the relationship between disadvantage and the built environment.
