With sadness we share the news of the resignation of our CEO, Nadia Mattiazzo, as she leaves to pursue other opportunities. During her time as WDV CEO, Nadia made an enormous contribution to progressing the rights of women and gender diverse people with disabilities in Victoria.
Nadia has been with WDV since 2017 and led WDV through the incredibly challenging COVID lockdown period. Nadia has ensured that women and gender diverse people with disabilities were never far from the minds of government decision-makers and community influencers. Along with WDV staff, she built WDV’s intersectional practice and championed genuine co-design.
We sincerely thank Nadia for her service to WDV and the disability community and wish her, and Abbie, her furry companion, all the best for their future endeavours.
Recruitment for a new CEO will begin in the new year, and we’re lucky to have the wonderful Julie Kun continuing as Acting CEO until a new CEO is recruited.
