Lottie Turner

Partnerships Director

Lottie leads Health Justice Australia’s national efforts to build the collaborative capability of health, legal and social services — strengthening how these systems work together in pursuit of justice and wellbeing.

Lottie lives with her partner and toddler in Naarm (Melbourne), on Wurundjeri Country. Lottie is a systems-oriented leader with a background in social work, knowledge translation and adaptive leadership.

Lottie was one of HJA’s inaugural Directors and has played a key role in shaping the organisation’s strategy, partnerships and internal culture since its establishment. She brings deep experience in cross-sector collaboration, workforce development, organisational learning, and people and culture.
Prior to joining HJA, Lottie worked across both the university and community health sectors – leading the translation of research into practice in areas such as LGBTIQ+ mental health and wellbeing, as well as the design and implementation of human rights-based frameworks and strategies.
Lottie’s leadership is grounded in trust, curiosity and purpose. She is passionate about building high-performing teams and organisations that hold complexity well and stay closely connected to the communities they serve.

Lottie has led the design and socialisation of human rights and social justice frameworks and strategies in healthcare, understanding the deep interaction between health inequity and injustice.

She has a longstanding commitment to LGBTIQ+ advocacy, having played significant roles with Gay & Lesbian Health Victoria (now Rainbow Health Australia), the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health & Society, and award-winning publication Archer Magazine.

During the Black Saturday bushfires recovery, Lottie was called upon to provide advice on youth inclusion and partnership strategies. Her advocacy and leadership have been recognised by Junkee.com, who named her in their inaugural list of 200 young Australian change makers; and the global Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity Program, which she was shortlisted for in 2022.
