About Alex Thomas
A pastoralist’s daughter with over 14 years experience in work health and safety, Alex was the 2018 AgriFutures Rural Woman of the Year (SA), the winner of the 2018 SafeWork SA Augusta Zadow Award and is the proud Director and Principal Consultant of Alex Thomas Pty Ltd.
Alex is a fierce advocate for the health and safety of those in rural industries and communities, has recently completed the Governor’s Leadership Program and has been formally endorsed by the Executive Director of SafeWork SA for her approach to assisting industry.
Underpinned by her ingrained values of curiosity, compassion, social intelligence, collaboration and innovation, Alex facilitates outcomes for large multi-national corporates, small family businesses, not-for-profit organisations, industry associations, government, research bodies… and everything in between.
Alex is an eternal empath, a master-collaborator and a new board member and she loves daring to do things differently.
