Jonathon Zagler

Senior Policy Officer

Jonathon lives and works on Wurundjeri Country, and over the past five years, has worked alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples throughout community development and research settings. Throughout these roles, he has developed strong interests in the promotion of the social and cultural determinants of health in achieving health equity and firmly believes Aboriginal-led participatory research and practice centred upon community-identified priorities is essential to delivering meaningful health and social outcomes.

Jonathon holds a Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) from the University of South Australia and a Master of Health and Human Services from the University of Melbourne. As a non-Indigenous person, Jonathon is acutely aware of the position he holds and is committed to ongoing self-reflexivity and working towards decolonising his practice and the systems he works within.
