Joanna George

​Joanna joined Belonging Matters in early 2026 and brings a background in communications across the health, mental health and community sectors.

​​

She cares deeply about inclusion and the importance of people being seen, valued and connected within their communities. Joanna has a strong interest in human connection and mental health, and believes that stories can help challenge assumptions, create new possibilities and highlight the unique gifts each person brings to their community.

​​

Outside of her professional work, Joanna values meaningful relationships with older people living in aged care homes and visits them regularly, cherishing the connection and shared moments these friendships bring.

At Belonging Matters, Joanna supports communications, events and organisational projects that help share ideas and encourage invaluable conversations about belonging, participation and creating a good life for people with disability.
