Lauren Alexander
Lauren’s passion as a Change Agent stems from a lifelong desire to make a difference in the lives of
others. In January 2019, she co-founded Compita Consulting with her husband, Daniel, opting to
leave over 10 years of teaching to complement Daniel’s skills and expertise in Work Health and
Safety (WHS) in the Government sectors. In March 2022, she completed her Certificate IV in WHS
with a vision of diversifying Compita Consulting to become a one-stop shop for managing physical
and psychological hazards in the workplace, and this is when her role as Psychosocial Change Agent
was born. Most recently, Lauren has assisted the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) with
critical WHS matters, demonstrating her working knowledge of WHS Legislation. She is currently
undertaking a Diploma in Positive Psychology and is motivated to work with organisations to foster
positive changes in how they view psychologically safe workplaces.
