Robyn Bridgwood

Having recently retired as Executive Officer and Executive Assistant, working within the Office of the Chief Executive at NextSense (formerly known as Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children (RIDBC)), I am now the Bequests Administrator on a casual/contract basis. A skilled administrator, with superior organisational skills and strong attention to detail, I have had significant experience providing high level support, guidance and administrative assistance to Chief Executives, Senior Leadership Teams, Board Members and Members of Special Committees. My experience includes Board and Governance Reporting; Legacy and Estate Management; Document Preparation and Review; Strategic Planning and Analysis; Diary Management; Event Management, Office Management; Meeting Administration; and Deadline Management. I have prided myself on my ability to form close and productive working relationships with everyone I come into contact with, whether I am organising a one-off meeting for the Chief Executive; working with Board Members to coordinate complex meeting schedules; or planning a major all-staff event or cross functional workshop. I am passionate about working in the not-for-profit sector and NextSense's mission to achieve the best outcomes for current and future generations of Australians with vision and/or hearing loss. I enjoy being part of an organisation that truly makes a difference in people’s lives. I also enjoy the challenges involved in working within an organisation that offers such a complex mix of educational and clinical services, benefiting a thousands of people across Australia every year.
