“We value people’s culture, age, ability, sexuality, gender identity, religion and beliefs. We know we are stronger and better together, and acknowledge that everyone comes with their own lived experience and background. It is important to us that everyone in our community feels safe, valued, included and appreciated, and we are committed to modelling inclusive behaviour.”

Meet Lieutenant Commander Ashleigh Payne
Joining the Royal Australian Navy in 2004, Lieutenant Commander Ashleigh Payne (Fleet Navigating Officer at Sea Training Group) has dedicated her life to making the world a safer place for others.
Ashleigh has spent most of her career at sea in various ships which have taken her to all corners of the globe from South-East Asia, the South-West Pacific and even Antarctica. In recognition for her outstanding work as Commanding Officer HMAS Bathurst, particularly during the challenges of COVID-19, Ashleigh was awarded the Conspicuous Service Cross (CSC) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
Since graduating from Curtin in 2018, Ashleigh has led several peace, gender, and security seminars with women throughout the South-West Pacific regions.
