Geoff Deans
Director

I have worked with Aboriginal people for over 18 years in a diversity of roles including as secondary teacher on the APY Lands, managing youth engagement and diversion programs across the APY Lands, the University sector and the private sector.
I am passionate about governance, education and empowerment. I believe IEBA has a significant role to play in enhancing the coordination, decision making and a cross sector partnering to advocate, enable and improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and adults across Australia.
