Leanne Pearman is CEO of the Australian Inclusion Group, with more than 35 years’ experience across disability and human services, including over a decade in executive leadership. She brings over 20 years’ experience in designing and developing individualised services with people with disability and their families, including individualised living approaches. She has led reform across policy, practice and service design at both state and national levels.

Leanne’s work has centred on supporting people with disability to live as citizens in their homes, at work, and in their communities, with valued, reciprocal relationships, autonomy, and the right support around them. This includes supporting the shift away from system-imposed congregate models towards supports built around the person, their culture, their community, and their life.

Leanne is a proud mum of two adult sons. She has a love of animals and is a long-time Comic-Con Supernova fan, enjoying the creativity, connection and sense of community it brings.
