The Heart of Consulting

LIZ DIMITRIADIS Liz lives in Melbourne with her husband and daughter. Her family migrated to Australia from Greece when she was seven. Her extensive consulting work with government and community organisations of over 20 years is underscored by her deep commitment to social justice principles. Her work with publicly funded services is characterised by her interest to change systems that disadvantage so many members of the community. RUSSELL JAFFE Russell has had a 30-year consulting career, both in Australia and New Zealand. He has specialised in working with community organisations and government agencies, with a particular focus on cross-cultural work, organisational development and program review and evaluation. He currently lives in Melbourne with his wife, with his married children and grandchildren nearby, and undertakes a considerable amount of volunteer work with Aboriginal and African communities alongside his consulting practice.
