Ms Tracey Pitman

Tracey is a project facilitator for Oceans projects at CSIRO. Since 2009 she has been assisting on multi-agency projects, and oils the wheels for project delivery by
- facilitating communications to help projects keep on track,
- helping develop creative solutions to any issues arising, and
- contributing to business development and contracting

Tracey works in teams that provide ocean dynamics information; information that contributes to well-informed decision-making on operations, policy, and development of Australian ocean-based activities (such as naval operations).

Tracey brings a diverse range of experiences. Prior to becoming a project facilitator, she had 10 years’ experience as a research scientist (microbial and algal ecology, and acid mine drainage), including a stint in the CSIRO algal culture collection early in her career, and a year of field work in Antarctica. Other roles she has held include a laboratory manager (water quality), a policy research assistant (marine, and mine water quality), and a workshop facilitator. She has worked at all levels of Australian government: local, state and Commonwealth.
