About Integria
Safer organisational cultures are shaped by what leaders notice, allow, and act on.
Integria helps leaders recognise their influence and take practical responsibility for how safety is created in everyday organisational practice.
Our Philosophy
Safety is not experienced through policy alone. It is experienced through leadership, relationships, and everyday organisational culture.
Across child-safe and human service sectors, organisations often meet formal requirements yet still struggle to translate safeguarding intent into daily practice. The difference is leadership behaviour: what leaders notice, normalise, and take responsibility for.
Integria’s work helps leaders see culture more clearly and understand how their presence shapes organisational safety. When leaders recognise this influence, safeguarding becomes visible, owned, and embedded in everyday practice.
Grounded in Safeguarding and Leadership Evidence
Integria’s leadership and culture approach is grounded in established evidence from safeguarding inquiries, organisational culture and safety science, and psychological safety research.
Major safeguarding inquiries, including the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse and subsequent Australian reviews such as In Plain Sight, consistently found that harm occurred in organisations with policies and procedures in place but limited leadership visibility into how safety was experienced in everyday practice.
Integria’s Leadership Presence and Culture Insight approach brings these inquiry findings together with established research in:
organisational culture
psychological safety
social learning
safety leadership
Across these fields, evidence shows that leaders’ attention, behaviour, modelling, and response patterns shape norms, influence speak-up climates, and determine whether risks are recognised and acted on in practice.
Integria translates this combined evidence into a practical leadership lens that helps organisations move beyond documented compliance toward visibility of lived safeguarding culture. The approach aligns with the intent of the Child Safe Standards by supporting leaders to understand how safety is led, signalled, and experienced across organisational systems, relationships, and everyday interactions.
Integria therefore operates at the causal layer of safeguarding identified across inquiries and research: how leadership behaviour and organisational culture determine whether safety is realised in practice for children and young people.
About Lee-Anne
Lee-Anne founded Integria Consulting to help leaders strengthen child-safe culture through everyday leadership practice.
Most organisations don’t have a commitment problem. They have a visibility problem.
For more than 20 years, she has worked across complex community and government service systems, spanning disability, child protection, domestic and family violence, housing, and mental health, with a strong commitment to rural, regional, and remote communities in Central Queensland and beyond.
Across this work, one truth has remained constant. People do not experience policies. They experience leadership, relationships, and everyday organisational culture.
She has long recognised the powerful impact leaders can have, both positive and negative, on how safe people feel and how organisations function.
Early in her career, Lee-Anne undertook qualitative research into lived experience and organisational culture. That grounding continues to shape how she understands leadership behaviour and safety in practice.
Through senior leadership and system work, she has seen how culture quietly strengthens trust, safety, and performance. It can also erode them long before issues surface through audits, reviews, or inquiries.
She also brings board-level governance experience in the community services sector, strengthening her perspective on leadership accountability and organisational oversight.
Lee-Anne partners with leaders and boards across metropolitan, regional, and remote contexts bringing deep sector understanding and a leadership lens grounded in how safety is actually experienced by people and communities.
