It was during her time in Local Government that Jane was first introduced to the Principles and practices of quality improvement, and directly experienced the many benefits it brings as the quality of work life and client and stakeholder satisfaction improve.

Jane’s focus on Quality improvement began in earnest when she was appointed to the position of Project Director for Business Excellence Australia (previously the Australian Quality Council) in 1999.

Jane joined Quality Learning Australia (QLA) in 2003 to focus on school improvement. She lives in beautiful Melbourne and is devoted to supporting those who share her passion to improve our school education system so all children experience joy and success in learning.

Michael left Telstra to join the Australian Quality Council (AQC) in early 1995 as a project director. His clients included government departments and agencies, large corporations and small enterprises.

In 1996, Michael was instrumental in establishing and responsible for leading the Australian Quality Council Quality in Schools initiative. Initially a joint initiative of the Victorian Department of Education and the AQC, it was later adopted by the South Australian Department of Education and Children’s Services. The program was to involve over 350 schools and preschools in the years 1998 to 2002.

In 2002 Michael relocated to Canberra and established Quality Learning Australia (QLA). QLA works almost exclusively in the schools sector, serving over three hundred schools in Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. QLA designs and delivers professional development interventions for school leaders and teachers leading to demonstrable and sustainable improvements in school performance and the quality of school life. QLA’s clients continue to be recognised for their sustained improvement efforts in the Australian Government National Awards for Quality Schooling.
