I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Associate Professor Dr Cassandra Cross, who was unanimously elected as our new Board Chair in November 2020.

As the first female Board Chair in PCYC Queensland’s history, Cassandra’s academic achievements and expertise in crime prevention will be fundamental to her leadership as we enter the next phase of our growth.

Finally, as we look toward the new year and fulfilling our long-term strategies, our ultimate focus remains on increasing our effect on crime prevention, enhancing communities, and shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
