Julie Green has been a member of WOB for more than 11 years, and during this time, has served on a range of significant boards. She grew up in the UK, went to The Frances Bardsley Academy for Girls in Romford in Essex, and continued her education right through to A level, which opened the doors to chartered accounting. Her years in London exposed her to audit, small and large companies, estates and taxation, making Julie the multi-disciplinary board member she is today.

She qualified at age 22, became a manager at age 23 and in 1987, was interviewed for a position in Melbourne that marked the beginning of her life in Australia. She was a business advisor for 10 years with chartered firms in the UK and Australia, including Ernst & Young, before she changed career paths. As one of the most senior women in her industry, she was surrounded by an environment of men, which encouraged her to think deeply about her core purpose in life. Julie discovered that she wanted to use her financial acumen to promote healthier communities and gravitated to community sectors where she could make the biggest difference.

This has seen Julie move into healthcare, water, transport, infrastructure and emergency services. Today, this sees Julie serve as Non-Executive Director for RAVC, Greening Australia, Loddon Mallee Waste & Resource Recovery Group Board, Advisory Board Member for RedGrid and Deputy Chair at Maldan Hospital. Many know of Julie from her time with the RAVC — which provides mobility, home and leisure services to 2.3 million members — and her active campaigning rurally to be successfully voted onto the board, where she has remained the past seven years.

In this podcast, Claire and Julie discuss the need for the environment sector to really innovate and leap frog for change, the difference between being a NED and on the Advisory Board, and what the workforce may look like in the next few years post-COVID.
