A Career Built Around People, Purpose and Leadership:
Anthony's career has developed through a remarkable range of educational and industry leadership roles.
His experience includes serving as an Assistant Principal and Acting Principal of a large Queensland primary school, where he gained valuable experience in educational leadership, staff development, student wellbeing, administration, curriculum and the day-to-day strategic management of complex school environments.
His leadership experience extends into the vocational education sector, where he has also served as Training Manager for a large Registered Training Organisation. In this capacity, Anthony developed a strong understanding of the operational, compliance, training and people-management responsibilities involved in delivering quality vocational education at scale.
These leadership roles have provided Anthony with a comprehensive understanding of education across the entire spectrum — from the individual learner and classroom teacher through to school leadership, organisational management, vocational training and industry partnerships.
Previously, Anthony coordinated Chisholm TAFE's CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing and Disability) mandatory 120-hour placement requirements in collaboration with Chisholm's Placement Compliance Team. He also developed and maintained strategic partnerships with aged care and disability service providers across Melbourne's Greater South-Eastern suburbs, the Mornington Peninsula and Bass Coast districts.
His vocational education experience includes delivering VET in Schools Health Services Assistance (VETDSS) programs in Victoria, as well as CHC33021 Aged and Disability Care programs with Chisholm TAFE and other Registered Training Organisations across Queensland and the Northern Territory.
Anthony's career has encompassed TAFE, private RTOs, public and independent schools, school leadership, Registered Training Organisations, residential aged care, community care, hospitality, call centres, multimedia and corporate training environments.

At the centre of Anthony's practice is a simple belief:
Every learner deserves to feel capable, respected and valued.
