Rae Bonney - board member
With a decade worth of experience, developing, designing and delivering workplace wellbeing programs, Rae’s area of focus is high risk, male dominated, heavy industry settings, with a special skill in crisis and suicide response.
She’s very well known for her enthusiastic advocacy in the men’s health space, where she believes that a male friendly approach to support and resources could have a positive impact for everyone.
The first female board member of the Australian Men’s Health Forum, she complements this with her election to the board of Global Action on Men’s Health.
Rae’s an enthusiastic supporter of Men’s Shed’s across the world and proud to have been an honorary member of the Monash Shed for almost 10 years, where she contributes to providing a social determinants approach to the health of men and boys.
