Qualifications: Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AASW); Graduate Certificate in Management

Brett Kirkpatrick is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, entrepreneur and author. He founded Awareness Services and ACE, and his career connects clinical mental health practice with business leadership. That gives him a rare view of how new technology affects real people.

As AI moves quickly into healthcare, Brett speaks for human-centred care. His keynotes look at how AI can support clinicians without replacing the therapeutic relationship. They also cover how to protect vulnerable people from algorithmic bias, and how organisations can adopt digital tools without harming staff and client wellbeing.

Brett also invests in real estate and sources property, so he brings an entrepreneur’s practical, results-focused approach to every talk. He turns complex ideas into clear, usable lessons for leaders, practitioners and innovators.

Signature keynote topics:

• AI and Mental Health: Augmenting, Not Replacing, Human Care
• Ethical AI in Health and Social Services
• Wellbeing in the Age of Digital Transformation
• Building Purpose-Driven Innovation
