Kudzai Mutsunge, Director Remote Families Central Australia, Territory Families, Housing and Communities

Kudzai is the Director Remote Families for Territory Families, Housing and Communities in Central Australia. As a Social Worker with extensive experience in child protection, she has previously worked in Soweto, South Africa and the UK before moving to Alice Springs. Her experience overseas found that flawed child protection models were not improving women’s safety, and often blaming and misidentifying women as perpetrators of violence.

Kudzai is passionate about the roll out of the Safe & Together Model in Alice Springs to improve engagement with women and men as fathers, increasing accountability for men to understand the impact of using violence on their families and children.

Kudzai loves living in Alice Springs because seeing the ranges everyday reminds her of her home in Zimbabwe.
