Background

About Steve Clancy

I am a public sector leader with more than 20 years’ experience in senior roles in state government and the not-for-profit sector. I am currently Manager, Community Participation and Volunteering at the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing. I am committed to building strong communities through support for local social infrastructure including Victoria’s 400 neighbourhood houses and 360 men’s sheds. A key focus of my time in the Victorian Public Service has been building collaborative relationships with internal and external stakeholders while advocating for marginalised and disadvantaged Victorians. Clear and persuasive communication is a key skill, along with my ability to present complex concepts and information to inform strategic direction.As part of my recent secondment as Head of Place-based Engagement with the Department of Health I developed comprehensive engagement strategies, led conversations with peak bodies and advocacy groups to engage hard to reach cohorts. I valued my time leading high performing work units responsible for service design and engagement across vulnerable populations.Previously I have worked as Manager, Public Programs at the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne focussing on event management, visitor experience and education, customer service and tourism.
