Mandy Griffiths

With a background in strategic communication working within an agency environment, Mandy joined the Victorian Government in 2018 in Multicultural Affairs. When the pandemic began, she led the communications and engagement response for multicultural communities through DPC’s CALD Communities Taskforce. She received an IPAA Top 50 Public Sector Women award in recognition of this work.

Moving to the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing when it was formed in 2021, Mandy’s focus expanded to all communities facing barriers to participation and engagement, with a speciality in inclusive engagement. She is particularly interested in exploring ways to address and remove discrimination and inequality from our institutions and settings. Outside of work she is an Advisory Board member for non profit organising Hck4Good.

Mandy has been a guest lecturer at the University of Melbourne, RMIT University and Monash University, has spoken at many conferences including the Customer Vulnerability Symposium, CommsLink, CultureLink, run workshops for Homes Victoria and Consumer Affairs Victoria and been part of panels for IPAA Victoria, IABC and more.
