Shannon Hennessy is the CEO of VESPIIA (Veterans, Emergency Services + Police Industry Institute of Australia). Here, on the back of VESPIIA's 5th policy paper-release, in the Future Frontline series, Shannon speaks about the importance of women in these roles, and their experience. Amongst this huge breadth of work, we find and discuss the things that are missing for women in these roles. We speak about the workplace culture and safety, sexual harm and harassment and career progression for women, ahead of the Future Frontlines Conference in Adelaide, in August.
