Anita Egginton

Senior Partnership Officer- Disaster Resilience, Queensland Kids Partnership

Anita lives in fire and storm country in southern Queensland, where Githabul and Jagera nations meet. For more than three decades, she has lived and worked in and with communities across Queensland affected by crises and major social and environmental change.

As Queensland Kids Partnership's kids and disasters capability specialist, Anita helps practitioners in the field better understand and support the healthy development, wellbeing, and resilience of children and their caregivers across disaster preparedness, response, and recovery settings. Her work is grounded in deep listening, relationship-building, and a strong commitment to respecting and resourcing local leadership, knowledge, and priorities.

Anita is passionate about how our relationships with nature and the environments around us shape development, wellbeing, and everyday life. This long-standing commitment to social and environmental justice — centred on interconnectedness, diverse ways of knowing, doing, and being, and care for all — has been explored in depth through her master's and PhD studies.
