Biography
Catherine Lee is the Director and Founder of the Neurodiverse Safe Work Initiative, an Australian social enterprise empowering employers to design work that is safe, healthy, and inclusive for neurodivergent workers. A postgraduate-qualified occupational health and safety consultant with research expertise in ADHD and aviation, Catherine reframes neurodiversity as a work health and safety responsibility, not just a diversity issue. Through training, system design, and her Neurodiversity Workplace Profiler, she helps organisations embed neuroinclusion into governance, culture, and practice, turning compliance into care and difference into strength.
