Background

About Thomas Chailloux

I am a social justice advocate and policy professional specialising in housing and homelessness. With a background in urban planning and public policy, and nine years experience in the NSW policy and law reform space, I have developed expertise in social and affordable housing delivery and management, tenancy legislation, social security, energy efficiency, housing taxation, and land economics. I have skills in policy analysis and development, submission writing, campaigning, media and communications, government relations, and stakeholder engagement.I am a value driven professional whose main motivation is to work towards a fairer and more progressive society where all people, no matter who they are or where they come from, have equal opportunities to meet their basic needs, contribute to community, and pursue their aspirations. In short, I believe in social change and love working with people who get things done. I also have a passion for learning and teaching languages, and significant experience in teaching French as a second language. In my spare time, I am a dedicated trail and ultra marathon runner (50-162km) and rock climber. I am a French and Australian citizen based in Newcastle, NSW.
