Pip Hanrick BA, MA (Cultural Policy Studies) Grad Dip Ed (above right) has worked in Australian political and public service roles at State and Federal levels and in journalism in rural and metropolitan newspapers. In the early 1990s she moved into strategic communication and engagement, working in the not-for-profit, university and government sectors. She was Media Manager and later State Strategic Communication Manager for the Queensland Department of Primary Industries & Fisheries. She later worked for Rowland Consulting as a Manager in both Stakeholder Engagement and Government Relations and more recently (2018) as a senior research officer for Queensland Fire & Emergency Services. She is a qualified and registered teacher with the Queensland College of Teachers and has taught in indigenous schools, in remote distance education ("School of the Air"), and in schools in low socio-economic areas. Pip specialises in helping students with special needs and with autistic spectrum disorder.

Pip first developed her strong interest in public participation and community engagement while working on the Red Imported Fire Ant Eradication Program in 2001
, one of Queensland's first significant community engagement projects. Since then she has been involved in several other large engagement projects, particularly the Southern Regional Water Pipeline Alliance project in Queensland from 2007. Pip has researched and published on community engagement practices in Australia and the role that government legislation, corporate agendas and media play in the success or failure of public participation in major projects and in areas of significant change.
