Shelley Odewahn

An Equitable Learning Facilitator at University of NSW, Shelley Odewahn has worked in the tertiary sector since 2000, joining the PSA CPSU NSW the day she received her first full-time pay packet.

A delegate for nearly 20 years, Shelley is keen to address workplace flexibility, insecure employment and change management processes.

In her first term as vice-president, Shelley wants to see improved workplace protections for women members. She wants to embed equitable and inclusive practices in all our industrial instruments, combat the superannuation gap resulting from changes to work due to primary caring responsibilities and ensure PSA CPSU NSW members’ voices are amplified through enforceable consultation processes

Shelley received an honorary degree from her former employer, Southern Cross University, for her “commitment to truth telling, fostering inclusivity, empowering students with disabilities to make meaningful contributions to their communities and the world and delivering excellence” while working as Disability Inclusion Officer at that institution.
