Alex Oswald

Alex is a Bachelor of Arts student majoring in politics and philosophy and a 2023 Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet graduate.

The role of social justice in his life was imbued from a young age through his family. His passion for sustainability was particularly ignited whilst volunteering in Fiji where he witnessed the first-hand consequences of climate change. During the Wattle Fellowship, he will be exploring the link between these two areas of interest within the Pacific.

Alex currently works as a disability education support officer and has previously interned at the Melbourne Disability Institution. He presented a paper based on this experience at the International Research Society for Public Management.

Outside of his studies and work, Alex can be found playing or coaching hockey and contributing to the national disability magazine Link as well as the University of Melbourne’s local rag, Farrago.
