In addition to her role of CEO, Belinda is a qualified solicitor with over 15 years’ experience in the community justice sector and continues to be actively involved in Aboriginal community life. A Churchill Fellowship in 2013 enabled Belinda to travel to Norway, Canada and the USA to examine innovative and holistic approaches to Indigenous education. A Fulbright Scholarship in 2017 allowed Belinda to evaluate the benefits of student leadership and mentoring programs in American colleges, to bring back and apply that knowledge to engaging and retaining Indigenous learners in the Australian Vocational and Training sector.'(Archives and Manuscripts Volume 47, 2019 - Issue 1)
