  • Justine Fawcett Communications Officer

    Justine joined the CCK team in 2018 with extensive experience in marketing and communications roles across both local government and corporate enterprises.

    She loves to indulge her creative talents at CCK, where she is responsible for communications, marketing and graphic design, and recently developed and rolled-out our new website. Over the past 3 years Justine has developed multiple key communication pieces, in collaboration with stakeholders, including My Journey to School (a brochure supported by the Department of Education to prepare Kwinana families for school) and Silver Linings (a workbook to support school-aged Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children’s emotional well-being).

    Outside of work you can find Justine at the gym, making a mess in the kitchen or cheering on her kids at weekend sport.

  • Tayla Stone Community Facilitator Disability
