Culture Craft; Australia

After 20+ years of operations and organisational development experience in financial services, Duncan embarked on a rewarding journey as the CEO of ADHD Australia and started his doctorate in organisational culture. He is passionate about embracing our uniqueness and contributes as best he can to fostering an inclusive society as a non-executive director of the Multi-Cultural Communities Council of Illawarra and a sessional lecturer in ‘Difference and Leadership’ with Charles Sturt University. On 23rd August 2022, Duncan’s life was shattered with the tragic death of his 18-year-old son Kuan, from a series of cultural and systemic failures in the health system. Managing to harness his grief as a powerful source of motivation, he has found purpose and meaning, which he sees as a gift from Kuan. He truly believes that to enhance patient safety and improve the quality of care in a meaningful way, we first have to have to take greater care of health professionals and their environment.
