Jackson Pearse is a boutique policy and communications consultancy that began amidst the chaos of 2020, inspired by a desire to work smarter to achieve excellent outcomes in the health and not-for-profit sector.
Existing in the spot where policy and communications collide, the team behind Jackson Pearse have multi-decade experience with nationally recognized public health campaigns and organisations - and professional skills across legal, policy, communications and advocacy disciplines.
Edwina is a communications, public affairs, media and social marketing specialist - with a career spanning two decades across Cancer Council Victoria, Quit and the Australian Medical Association. Edwina’s passion for strategic thinking and creating successful public health, brand and advocacy campaigns has made a significant impact on shaping how the Australian public understand and talk about issues including plain packaging of tobacco products, graphic health warnings on cigarettes, the importance of cancer support, and more recently the need to prioritise primary care during COVID-19.
In her spare time you can find her drinking coffee, nose deep in a new book or chasing a mischievous spoodle and attempting not to swear in front of her kids and husband.
Sarah Jackson is an experienced legal and policy adviser with specialised skills in regulatory policy analysis, and strategic advice and advocacy. She has in-depth knowledge of health policy and regulatory issues, having worked for more than 10 years as a senior lawyer and policy adviser to Cancer Council Victoria and health policy alliances. She has also worked as a Government lawyer and policy adviser in the UK and Australia.
When she’s not working, Sarah loves travel and other adventures with her family, running and long wanders with her beloved bordoodle Betty, and lazing by herself with a book.
