Dr. Bond is an Occupational Therapist with an extensive career in mental health, spanning inpatient, outpatient and community services. In recent years, she has worked within not-for-profit mental health organisations, focusing on research, stakeholder engagement, grant management and project leadership. Her professional journey has been dedicated to improving the lives of individuals experiencing mental health challenges, while driving systemic improvements through collaboration and innovative approaches.
Alongside her career, Dr. Bond has been a committed volunteer with FFAR for over a decade. During this time, she has served in multiple capacities, including foster carer for cats and kittens, case manager, transporter and sanctuary volunteer. Her involvement in animal welfare is driven by a deep commitment to improving the wellbeing of animals, with a particular interest in the humane management of cat populations.
Animals are an essential part of Dr. Bond’s life and her vision for a meaningful, connected world. Whether it’s the birds that bring her garden to life, Australia’s unique native wildlife or the pets we all cherish, Dr. Bond believes all animals enrich our lives in countless ways.
On a personal note, Dr. Bond and her husband are enjoying the new chapter of being empty nesters, taking pride in watching their adult children thrive. At home, they share their lives with their two much-loved fur babies: Elwood, her gentle giant of a dog and Hatti, her sassy tortie cat.
