Alice is a policy adviser and lawyer who is passionate about the protection of vulnerable workers. Alice currently works for the Leader of the Federal Opposition and helped develop the first policy on countering modern slavery to be adopted by a major Australian political party. Prior to this, Alice worked as a commercial litigator atAllens where she helped companies improve human rights in their supply chains and as a lawyer at the Refugee Advice and Casework Service (RACS) Sydney. With her John Monash Scholarship, Alice intends to study a Master of Public Administration at Harvard University, specialising in the regulation of business supply chains and social policy. Her goal is to continue her advocacy in this area and help lead policy reform to counter modern slavery. Upon returning to Australia, Alice plans to focus on the interaction of business and government, looking at how both sectors can work together to solve complex policy problems.
