A young person shaking up the family violence system, determined to use his lived experience as a survivor to drive change that matters.
Conor Pall (he/him) is a consultant and advocate transforming the family violence system to prioritise the unique needs of children and young people. At just 21, he combines lived expertise with professional skills to ensure young victim-survivors receive the support they deserve.
As the youngest-ever member and current Deputy Chair of the Victorian Victim Survivors’ Advisory Council, Conor’s advocacy is shaping national conversations on family violence, leaving a lasting impact across Australia.
Recognised as the 2022 Victorian Young Achiever of the Year in ‘Connecting Communities,’ he has been a driving force in shifting policy and practice to support children and young people as victim-survivors in their own right - not just witnesses to violence. His work has helped influence reform that prioritises young people’s voices and experiences.
In 2023, he published The Shadow that Follows, a children’s book empowering readers with a message of hope and resilience. Now used by social workers, educators, and support services - including every Orange Door service across Victoria - the book is a vital resource for children experiencing family violence.
Conor currently works at the Victorian Commission for Children and Young People and is completing a Social Work degree at RMIT. He is always eager to connect with like-minded organisations and individuals to expand advocacy and influence systemic change.
