About Me

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi, I'm Kathrine. I am a proud family woman, tech founder, CEO of a charity and vulnerable persons advocate.

As a mother to three profoundly disabled and autistic boys, my entire purpose is to build a safe and inclusive world for them. Something I believe I am achieving through my work. As a parent, supporting my children as they navigate their way in the world is highly complex and filled with equal parts of unconditional love and devastating heartbreak. They ARE my reasons and they provide me the strength to make a difference daily.

I have been a fixture in the disability landscape for the past decade advocating for real change to support disabled Australian’s. As Australia’s first Autism & Law Enforcement trainer, I have been providing training and education to police officers across the country free of charge since 2018 through my charity Spectrum Support. This work has been recognised by the NSW Police Commissioner and awarded both locally and internationally.

Training and equipping police officers to better understand disabled behaviours in the field is a role I am very proud of and it lead to the creation of my technology company The GVDP.

The GVDP (Global Voluntary Disclosure Project) provides first responders with real-time, in the field access to crucial information - ensuring safer, more effective interactions. The system works using two standalone applications. The First Responder App and the General User App. The technology provides individuals, carers, first responders and enterprises access to voluntarily shared data to help save lives on a global scale.

I believe that the world can be and should be a better place. Through technology, education and reignited community, I strive every day to make the changes we need.

I welcome the opportunity to speak about all matters, special needs parenting, training first responders, start up business and the intense processes involved and of course about my work and advocacy.

Thank you
