Joanne Cartledge

Diploma in Housing; Diploma in Business & Finance; Foundation in Leadership & Management.

Jo collaborates with healthcare and support teams working on the hospital discharge process for people who need to find a suitable place to live. Jo’s focus is to ensure people can choose where they live, and that they have a safe and sustainable home to go to when they are discharged from hospital. Her role will contribute to shaping the Housing Brokerage Service so it can continue to provide meaningful support to people leaving hospital.

Jo has a background in community housing and has around 20 years’ experience both here and in the UK. She has undertaken a variety of front line, technical and management roles, working with tenants and housing contracts throughout her career. Most recently she has worked with an SDA-registered disability community housing provider in South Australia, where she developed a tenant wellbeing program to minimise the risk of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people living with disabilities.
