[Commpsych] APS Election

[Helen Killmier]

Dear fellow APS members,

Make your vote count for the APS Board of Directors closing on September 
27.

 

My name is Helen Killmier and I am standing for APS Division of Colleges
in the election.

 

In June 2017, I founded a disability organisation and counselling 
practice
working with NDIS recipients with high and complex needs. The work I do 
encompasses
clinical, counselling and community and I have a strong appreciation of 
the value
of each discipline and skill set.

 

I believe that as a profession we have to stand together and all 
psychologists
should be valued and respected. My belief is that the ability to do the 
work
should drive the rebate, not the training received.

 

I am concerned about:

 

·      
Unity within the profession

·      
The need to recognise experience
and skills as well as qualifications

·      
Equity within the Medicare,
NDIS, DVA and Centrelink systems

·      
Being a strong voice on the
Board to represent all members, find common ground and seek solutions

 

I am a Company Director
with over 20 years Board experience. I have been an APS Member for more 
than 20
years, an active member of the College of Community Psychologists and 
participated
on committees. I have worked in the not-for-profit and local government 
sectors
as well as private practice and have a great deal of experience 
advocating to
state and federal governments. I will work for transparent and fair 
decision
making, clear accountability, improved communication with members and 
better
access for all to psychological services.

I bring experience in:

    * Governance
    * Negotiation and mediation
    * Strategic Planning and Policy
    * Advocacy
    * Corporate, Executive and Private Practice
