New ANROWS Leadership Team to Drive National Response to Gendered Violence

ANROWS

Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety (ANROWS) has strengthened its leadership at a critical national moment, announcing four senior appointments to advance evidence-driven strategies to end violence against women and children.

The appointments come as Australia confronts gendered violence, including women being killed by partners or former partners, escalating coercive control, and youth-on-youth assaults — prompting urgent calls for stronger prevention, earlier intervention, and evidence-led reform.

Joining the ANROWS Executive are:

  • Dr Kristin Diemer, a leading international expert in family violence research and data systems, as Director of Research;
  • Lucy Macmillan, a senior evaluation and impact specialist with two decades’ experience across domestic violence, justice, and public health sectors, as Director of Evaluation and Impact;
  • Anandini Mayuran, a strategy and organisational development leader with expertise spanning philanthropy, public policy and governance, as Director of Strategy and Organisational Development.
