Denise Sullivan about the campaigns of the Cancer Council Western Australia

Rendez-Vous 170  July 10, 2007

Philippe Boucher: Hello Denise. Nice to have you back for a rendez-vous since our previous cyber-interview took place on March 31, 1999. You are still very much involved in tobacco control. Can you update the professional information about yourself?

Denise Sullivan: Thank you Philippe.  I am pleased to say I am still very involved in tobacco control, although now working in the non-government sector.  In August 2000, I took up the inaugural position of Director of The Cancer Council Western Australia’s Tobacco Program (known then as ‘Target 15’).

Trish Cotter about the media campaigns of the Cancer Institute in New South Wales

Rendez-vous 169,   June 19, 2007

Thank you Trish for taking the time to be with us today.
May I ask you to introduce yourself?

Trish Cotter: My first ever job after University (BSc) was with the Victorian Quit Campaign (over 20 years ago). It was just being set up and I was the second person to be employed.  My first role was as a project assistant and I expected to be at Quit Victoria for 12 months and then move on to something else.  Thirteen years later I finally moved on having had many different roles and seen lots of exciting changes such as banning tobacco advertising and the first well funded mass media campaigns.
