Barry is a Psychologist, care leader, and systems-challenger with a passion for walking alongside people whose voices have often gone unheard. Across diverse settings — from child protection and out-of-home care to aged care and disability support — Barry's work centres on one driving question: What would it take to truly meet this person's needs?

As the founder of Shield of Care, he leads a purpose-driven organisation committed to delivering relationship-based, values-led support across the lifespan. His approach blends clinical insight with a deep belief in the power of connection, dignity, and practical hope.

Barry believes real change doesn’t wait for permission — it shows up, stands firm, and builds whatever is needed. His work is driven by a conviction that when we help people find their voice and respond with compassion and courage, we don't just transform lives — we transform systems.
