Our Services
I offer lived-experience speaking for community, education, government, and workplace events, covering short openings, MC, talks, panels, keynotes, and workshop-style sessions. I also do consultations as a lived experience worker to provide advice and support on accessibility and inclusivity. Bookings include two short planning calls beforehand (to understand your audience and goals) and an optional feedback call or survey afterwards to support continuous improvement.
If the listed prices don’t fit your budget or you have a different format in mind, please reach out. I’m happy to work with you to shape an option that meets your needs (for example, a shorter session, a panel instead of a keynote, virtual delivery, or a community-rate option where possible). This pricing is designed to start a conversation.
Services
I’m currently launching my speaking services and building a professional portfolio (testimonials, references, and examples of delivery). For that reason, I offer two limited introductory options before moving to my regular service fees:
Intro option A: First 5 bookings
Expenses-only (transport, accommodation if required, and main meals) for speaker + support person.
Intro option B: next 5 bookings
Expenses plus a $100–$200 honorarium (AUD) depending on distance/time commitment.
Regular prices
After these introductory bookings are filled, my standard fees apply. All pricing is in AUD and expenses are charged at cost for speaker + support person.
