Ms Evans brings more than two decades of executive leadership experience across the disability, youth, community and health sectors. She has held CEO and senior executive positions within statewide and national organisations and is recognised for her commitment to person-centred, rights-based practice, strong safeguarding and quality systems, workforce capability, and sustainable organisational growth.

“Alice brings deep sector experience, strong values alignment and a proven record of leading organisations through growth, reform and transformation. Her commitment to dignity, inclusion and community connection reflects MADEC’s purpose and the expectations of the communities we serve.”
