Nevena and John interview, Brenda Appleton OAM, The Inaugural Senior Victorians Advisory Committee.
Brenda is a leader and tireless advocate for trans and gender diverse communities in Victoria. For 17 years she led Transgender Victoria as spokesperson and chair, working across governments and sectors to drive equal opportunity and access to services and healthcare. Brenda currently serves as co-chair of the Pride in Ageing Expert Advisory Committee and is passionate about LGBTQIA+ representation on the Senior Victorians Advisory Committee.
