Sector Development Officer (Human Rights), QCOSS
Charlotte Beaumont-Field is a committed human rights advocate with more than 20 years of experience in the community sector. She currently works as the Sector Development Officer (Human Rights) at QCOSS, supporting the community services sector to embed human rights in practice.
Charlotte’s career has primarily focused on youth homelessness and youth justice, with frontline experience in homeless refuges, supported accommodation, the court system, and youth detention centres. She has also contributed to academic research and teaching as a sessional academic in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Griffith University.
She holds Bachelor degrees in Legal Studies and Psychology (4 year program), and a Master’s degree in Criminology (Youth Justice). Her PhD research, which has progressed through the confirmation and data collection stages, explores the social networks of homeless young people and their connection to offending behaviour. While major life events have delayed its submission, Charlotte is committed to completing the project in the near future.
