Having served as an expert advisor on several government and non-profit panels, Tandi has contributed significantly to Australia’s first-ever Multicultural Mental Health Framework. Her work is recognised for ensuring that mental health policies and services are both inclusive and practically implementable, particularly in low-resource settings.
Tandi’s collaboration with organisations such as the Metropolitan Migrant Resource Centre, ISHAR Multicultural Women’s Centre, and Richmond Wellbeing has been central to her work in capacity building and workforce development. She is committed to co-designing services with communities to ensure they are sustainable, culturally appropriate, and meet the specific needs of the populations they serve—aligning with T&N Consulting’s core principle of “nothing about us without us.”
In addition to her role as a Co-Chairperson of the Mental Health Recovery Colleges with the Mental Health Commission of Western Australia, Tandi was a subject matter expert advisor on the Multicultural Mental Health Framework , bridging the gap between policy and practice to ensure that mental health services are accessible and effective.
Through her work with T&N Consulting, Tandi continues to focus on consultancy, advisory services, and capacity building, helping organisations and governments develop effective policy, review services, and design sustainable mental health models that foster long-term, meaningful change.
She has held senior executive, advisory, and frontline roles across government, multilateral organisations, and civil society. From 2019 to 2021, she served as Vice President of the United Nations Association of Australia – WA Division, where she led strategic stakeholder and sponsor engagement to strengthen the organisation’s capacity to deliver key initiatives — including the annual UN Day Gala, Refugee Week events, educational workshops, and public advocacy campaigns aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Her work has influenced both national and local policies across gender equity, refugee settlement, disability inclusion, multicultural engagement, and mental health. Notably, she played a key role in shaping community liaison and intelligence-gathering strategies between state and federal government and police agencies and at-risk or migrant communities, contributing to more inclusive, preventative, and trusted approaches to public safety and state security. At the Commonwealth level, she managed grant portfolios exceeding AUD $25 million and helped design trauma-informed, prevention-focused policy frameworks for vulnerable populations, including women, youth, and First Nations communities. She has co-developed regional crime prevention and early intervention strategies and worked alongside policing agencies on culturally responsive engagement.
Natasa has also supported numerous local governments, including the City of Wanneroo and City of Belmont, in co-creating Multicultural Engagement Plans and Disability Action and Inclusion Plans (DAIPs). She has served on school boards in high-diversity, low-SES communities, contributing to inclusive education strategies and youth re-engagement initiatives. Her work spans both high-level systems reform and hyperlocal grassroots engagement.
Internationally, she has collaborated with EU-funded and UN-affiliated initiatives, including consulting in Bosnia and Herzegovina on youth leadership, psychosocial wellbeing, and institutional resilience. She was a member of the WA Migration & Mobilities Conference Steering Committee, contributing to national dialogue on inclusion across the life course.
Natasa is a proud alumna of the University of Western Australia and has served on the UWA Young Alumni Committee, mentoring international students and young leaders from disadvantaged backgrounds. A passionate advocate for inclusive education and community leadership, she has consistently integrated mentoring and empowerment into her practice.
Her volunteer leadership spans governance roles as Chair, Director, and Board Member across organisations advancing social justice, mental health reform, and human rights. She sees volunteering not as an add-on, but as a civic responsibility and expression of shared leadership.
Currently completing a Doctorate in Business Leadership, her research explores gender-responsive leadership, psychological safety, and stakeholder engagement in public and nonprofit institutions. With postgraduate qualifications in International and Community Development, Political Science and International Relations, and European Studies, Natasa blends academic rigour with cultural intelligence and values-based leadership.
Natasa is also a published contributor to international policy and research, including editorial and writing work with the Maritime Institute of Malaysia (MIMA). Her publications address maritime crime, regional security, youth leadership, and migration in the Indo-Pacific, contributing to multilateral policy conversations and translational knowledge production.
