We are excited to introduce Janet Craven as the new Director of ICAN Australia to help steer the ship during these tumultuous times!

Janet brings deep experience in public affairs, humanitarian diplomacy and weapons treaties. Most recently, she served as Public Affairs Manager for the International Committee of the Red Cross delegation to the European Union, NATO and Belgium, supporting dialogue on International Humanitarian Law and relevant weapons instruments, including the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention and the Political Declaration on the Use of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas.

Her background spans:

• Senior roles with international humanitarian and development organisations
• Work with the Irish Red Cross and the ICRC across Europe and Australian Red Cross across Australia and the Asia Pacific region
• Advising in state government and leading campaign teams
• Earlier work in Melbourne with community and humanitarian groups

Janet has recently returned to Naarm and is ready to lead ICAN Australia at a pivotal moment for nuclear disarmament.

We’re so glad she’s on board.

Welcome Janet!
