About Kelly

It was after taking a chance elective in Indigenous Studies that Kelly Warner discovered she had a real passion for the area.

"My first Indigenous Studies unit changed my perspective on the world fairly radically so I decided to change my major." She moved on to complete honours with Monash's Centre for Australian Indigenous Studies, a learning environment she found to be very supportive and inspirational. Two years into her career, Kelly has experienced some valuable opportunities to live her commitment to, "acknowledging, embracing and advocating for Indigenous knowledge and justice".

Kelly has worked with the Australian Community Support Organisation a Victorian NGO on the Konnect program, a program which delivers case management and outreach support to Koori men and women exiting prison and now works in the same organisation as a Research Officer in Strategy and Development.
