In June 2001, Anthea wrote, published and marketed the first, practical set of guidelines for Australian employers on the prevention of workplace bullying and harassment. These have been used by organisations throughout Australia.
Following the publication of these guidelines, Anthea was commissioned to write the harassment and bullying prevention chapter in the first three editions of the Australian Master Human Resources Guide published by CCH (2002 to 2004/05) and the bullying prevention chapter in the fourth to seventh editions (2006 to 2009).
In 2003, Anthea was appointed as a non-judicial member of the Equal Opportunity Division of the NSW Administrative Decisions Tribunal. This means she hears and decides cases of discrimination and harassment that the Anti-Discrimination Board of NSW has not been able to conciliate. She is a member of both the NSW Equal Employment Opportunity Practitioners’ Association and the Australian Human Resources Institute.
Before establishing her consultancy, Anthea was the Manager, Education Services at the Anti-Discrimination Board of NSW. Anthea was regarded as a dynamic and inspirational people manager and leader. She expanded her team from 4 to almost 20, by, among other things, initiating and developing a highly successful commercial unit providing EEO-related consultancy, training and publications. Anthea wrote most of the Board’s practical, ‘plain English’ publications. The workplace guidelines series she wrote received an excellent review in HR Monthly, March 1999 and was also commercially licensed to the Equal Opportunity Commission, Victoria.
Frequently requested as a dynamic presenter by EEO and HR conference organisers, Anthea developed and then managed the training programs still used by the Board, and conducted and managed longer-term consultancy projects for both private and public sector clients.
Before working at the Board, Anthea researched and wrote a series of publications for the NSW Cancer Council; and spent 2 years developing the Immigration Advice and Rights Community Legal Centre.
For several years in London, UK, Anthea managed the team that produced a comprehensive, integrated, practical social welfare advice and information system, distributed monthly to several hundred street-front Citizens Advice Bureaux. Anthea’s first book, 'The Practical Ins and Outs of Immigration Law' was published in London in 1983.
