Dianne Bowles

Chair

I have joined the Lifeline board as someone who is passionate about mental health and wellbeing and totally embraces the organisation’s values of no one is alone, there is someone to listen. Ive been touched by depression and mental health issues both personally and in my family and wider circle of friends and want to help and support the organisation to continue to grow, succeed and support.

I have over 15 years experience on boards of all sizes, shapes and responsibilities and am currently a board member of Rural Financial Counselling Victoria West and chair of Murray Primary Health Networks community advisory for Loddon Mallee. I have previously done a lot of advisory work in the dairy and the water space and am proud to be the creator of the Show Some Dairy Love Facebook group

I am a member and graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and also hold an Advanced Diploma in Agribusiness and a Diploma of Agriculture

When I’m not doing those things, I co-own and manage with my husband Gary run our dairy farm in Mead, near Cohuna where we milk 290 cows.
