Robyn has over 17 years experience in the broader Cultural Heritage industry in Australia and Papua New Guinea. In recent years she has primarily worked in remote locations having been based in Dampier, Pilbara, Western Australia and Cloncurry, North West Queensland.

Robyn commenced her career working for Queensland South Native Title Services as a Researcher (Anthropology). This role involved undertaking archival, genealogical and historical background research for Native Title claims. She then was based in Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane working as a heritage consultant across all states in Australia. She gained extensive experience working for multiple clients including road, rail, mining and water companies to undertake archaeological or anthropolgoical assessments (including surveys, excavation and reporting). In addition, she learned critical construction knoweldge and project management skills with these projects.

Robyn has been able to steadily build her team leadership and logistics co-ordination capabilities. During her time at the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) in Cloncurry, Qld she acted for long durations as the Manager (Technical Services). This involved actively supporting a team with a range of skill sets including heritage, environment and design to deliver the road project outcomes for the district. In Rio Tinto Iron Ore (RTIO), WA she was part of the lead team, driving multiple changes within the Heritage and Traditional Owner Partnership space. This included a shift in approach to identifying and managing cultural values, changes in engagement with Traditional Owners by working towards co-design and informed consent, increasing resourcing internally and actively developing a changed approach to cultural heritage management. This has recently been further enhanced through her role as a Heritage Engagement Specialist at Everick Heritage where she was was based in Toowoomba. In this role she has supported Traditional Owner groups to build their strategic plans, oral history recording and supporting companies to build their heritage strategy.
