Keynote Speaker
Debra Stanway
When life took an unexpected turn, I found myself at the forefront of a challenge that reshaped my entire world. After my husband, Mark Stanway, suffered a traumatic accident in the construction industry, I was thrust into the role of caregiver and family leader, managing the emotional, physical and financial complexities of trauma.
Through this journey, I discovered an unshakable resilience and a deep passion for workplace safety advocacy. Today, I’m a powerful voice for change, sharing my personal experience to educate, inspire and drive meaningful conversations about the critical importance of safety standards. My mission is to not only prevent workplace accidents but also shed light on the far reaching impact they have on families and communities.
With raw honesty and unwavering determination, I engage with my audiences with a message of strength, awareness and action empowering individuals, organisations and industry leaders to prioritise safety, prevent tragedy and support those affected by workplace incidents.
