Ewan Filmer

Ewan has been Coordinator at Capricorn Citizen Advocacy since July 2013.  Before coming to CCA he worked for 25 years in six local governments around Queensland including Rockhampton Regional Council. He has been employed to support prisoners leaving Capricorn Correctional Centre and in roles at CQ University, Rockhampton.

Ewan gets a great deal of great job satisfaction in working alongside the Management Committee recruiting and supporting good matches.  He  loves how Citizen Advocacy is able to help make a real difference in vulnerable people’s lives.  He believes that healthy unpaid, freely given relationships are of crucial importance for vulnerable people, as these relationships act as a check and balance to paid supports from various service providers.   

He has three sons and is involved in the community as Vice President of a Special School P&C, and is a member of CQ University’s Regional Engagement Committee, Warripari Scout Group, Queensland Government’s CQ Forum  and a local church.
