Ruth Champion

Sydney Convenor

I’ve been a member of MOW for twenty years. I worked on the Unfinished Business conference committee during 2021-22 and was elected Sydney Convenor in October 2022. I’m also a long-time Churchwarden at St Luke’s Enmore (Sydney).

I was a member of the Towards A More Appropriate Response (TAMAR) Committee (1996-2008) which was formed to recognise those abused by clergy and church workers and which led to the formation of the Professional Standards Unit (Sydney).

My background is in Local Government administration, Community Health, and Engineering.
