Ms Bartier has worked closely on government policy directions and with industry driving a number of successful skills, training and job development projects.

She was also the main driving force behind the Women in Forests and Timber Network (WFTN).

During her time with ForestWorks she has managed successful workers assistance projects, co-ordinated ForestWorks policies and practices and has provided valuable contributions towards innovation and workforce development strategies.

Michael Hartman, ForestWorks CEO said that he would like to publicly thank Ms Bartier for the commitment, leadership and management expertise she provided to ForestWorks. He said she had been a source of encouragement and guidance for staff and a pleasure to work with.

“I aim to restructure my work practice from full-time and do some further study,” said Ms Bartier. “I have learnt much in this time and trust that I have contributed to the industry in developing strategies for skilling people to meet changing workplace demands.”

A new contracts and projects manager will start with ForestWorks in mid-September.
