Outside of Nous
Outside of Nous, Ethan has served as a policy intern at the Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture (Foundation House), working on important projects including analysing the newly released Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System Report. This was done to identify strategic implications and opportunity areas for Foundation House to further assert itself as an industry leader, and to identify any potential negative outcomes of the reshaping of the mental health system for Foundation House’s CALD clients.
During his tenure at Foundation House, Ethan also worked with representatives from Victoria’s migrant communities to develop strategies to make the Australian Government’s vaccination rollout more culturally appropriate, helping increase vaccine uptake in these communities.
