Amanda Sibosado is a proud Bard (West Kimberley) and Wardandi (South West) woman from Western Australia, currently based on Whadjuk Country in Boorloo (Perth). She has over 15 years of experience working in sexual health, primarily across regional and remote communities in Western Australia. In this time, Amanda has led health promotion initiatives, community development projects, workforce training, and community education programs.

Given that sexual health is often considered a sensitive area, influenced by social, cultural, and ethical values, Amanda has developed advanced facilitation skills that enable her to create safe and supportive spaces. She is skilled at respectfully challenging perspectives, encouraging critical reflection, and fostering open dialogue with individuals and communities. Amanda has a keen interest and passion for different approaches and processes that create safe spaces for people to be deeply seen, self-determine and realise their power.

On leaving sexual health she worked three years as a Research Associate at Curtin University co-designing mainstream youth mental health services to better meet the needs of Aboriginal young people before beginning her PhD journey at the University of Queensland's Poche Centre for Indigenous Health Research. Amanda’s PhD focuses on young people's rights, relational ways of working and is focused on centring the voices of community.
