Katherine Hayes

Chief Executive Officer, Youth Advocacy Centre (YAC)

Katherine is the CEO of the Youth Advocacy Centre, a community legal centre that provides legal and social support for young people in Queensland.

Katherine joined YAC in 2022 with over 20 years of corporate law experience with a desire to make positive change in the community.

As youth justice issues have begun to dominate political debates, Katherine has become a vocal advocate for the rights of children whose voices are often left out of the story.

Katherine’s proactive approach to engaging with stakeholders across the youth justice sector has seen her become a leader in campaigning for a safer and more just Queensland for all.
