keynote speaker

Joanne McCarthy

Senior Journalist, Newcastle Herald

Joanne McCarthy has worked as a print journalist for nearly four decades. She

joined the Newcastle Herald in 2002 and for more than 12 years has

concentrated on institutional child sexual abuse, including leading a campaign

in 2012 for a royal commission.

For her work she received the Graham Perkin Award for Australian Journalist of

the Year in 2012, the Gold Kennedy Award for New South Wales Journalist of

the Year in 2013 and the Gold Walkley Award in 2013. In 2015 the University of

Newcastle awarded her an honorary doctorate. Joanne also received the

inaugural Walkley Award for public service journalism in 2017 for her leading

work over four years on the global pelvic mesh scandal.

Joanne was born and has lived most of her life on the Central Coast of New

South Wales. She started her career in journalism on the Gosford Star

newspaper. She has three sons and in August became a grandmother for the

first time, which has been a delight. In her spare time, which doesn’t occur

enough, she enjoys gardening, running, bushwalking, reading and travelling. She

hates cooking.

about CEDA

CEDA is a respected independent national organisation with an engaged cross-

sector membership. More than 780 of Australia’s leading businesses, organisations

and academic institutions from around the country are members of CEDA. For more

than 50 years, CEDA has delivered informed discourse and rigorous research to

influence good public policy for Australia’s economic and social development.

Membership

Organisations join CEDA because CEDA delivers exposure to high level thought

leadership, timely briefings on issues of economic importance, access to

networking and brand reach through sponsorship and hosting opportunities. In

addition to high profile public events, CEDA also delivers regular member only

events for employees of member organisations and exclusive Trustee only

boardroom briefings for senior executives from member organisations. These

provide a unique opportunity for peer-to-peer knowledge exchange and for

speakers and attendees to talk candidly on issues.

Research and policy

CEDA’s only agenda is to pursue good public policy to progress Australia’s

economic and social development. Since 1960 CEDA has produced more than

3000 publications, research reports and articles highlighting emerging issues and

directions in a diverse range of policy areas. Research in 2018 will focus on

inequality; community attitudes to economic growth and development; and a major

review of the purpose of economic growth and development in Australia.
