Ross Womersley

Ross is the CEO of the South Australian Council of Social Service (SACOSS) and has been extensively involved in community services for many years.

He has a formal background and qualifications in psychology and is driven by the idea that we should live in a community in which everyone is included. Ross acknowledges that the community services workforce employs vastly more women than men and thus the issue of a gender pay gap is highly relevant and needs to be addressed.

He also continues to deepen and extend his understanding of many of the issues he has always been passionate about, including the social determinants of health, as he works to assist SACOSS fulfil its aspirational vision - that there is justice, opportunity and wealth for all South Australians.
