Michael Broadhead
Michael Broadhead is Managing Director of strategic design consultancy Folk.
With a background in human-centred design and digital strategy, Michael has deep experience working with organisations in health, education, social services and justice.
Michael’s work in user research and service design often centres around issues of navigability, where people in need struggle to access information and services. Where the solutions may seem obvious, but not easy, and the barriers to change are relegated to the category of system level problems.
Michael sees a unique willingness at Health Justice Australia, and amongst the health justice partnerships we support, to tackle what’s obvious, but not easy. To rethink how professionals work together, address practice barriers and work towards achieving system level change.

In a world of growing complexity and uncertainty the importance of robust and innovative social, health and legal services cannot be understated. Innovation is, by its nature, challenging, meaning that gatherings like this one are all the more important.
The conference is a fantastic opportunity to really get to meet colleagues, friends, and other practitioners and professionals across both the legal profession as well as health. These events are so important because they really start the conversation around what our respective professions need in the future, and what our community needs.
