Janet Schorer PSM is the Chief Delivery Officer, TAFE NSW. Janet has a passion and commitment to making sure the most vulnerable members of our communities are recognised and valued as an integral part of society. 

Janet’s passion led her to train as a nurse working at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, before gaining qualifications as a child and adolescent psychologist.
Janet’s early career saw her working as a community nurse and case worker, alongside people with disability and their families. Janet moved in to policy and program management roles, including taking a lead role in the development and implementation of Aboriginal Child and Family Centres across NSW.

Janet’s commitment to vulnerable members of our communities saw her lead negotiations with the Australian Government as Executive Director, NDIS Reform in the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet, ensuring the NSW transition to the NDIS was successful and kept people with disability at the forefront.
Janet was the NSW Children’s Guardian from 2017 until 2022, leading reforms to strengthen the oversight of people and organisations working with children across NSW. A particular focus during her term was to influence system change for Aboriginal children and young people and their families and communities, and establishing the first legislated child safe scheme in NSW. 

In June 2019, Janet’s contributions to the NSW public service were recognised when she was awarded a Public Service Medal for outstanding public services particularly through the protection of children. Janet was made a National Fellow of the Institute of Public Administration Australia (FIPAA) in 2019. She was appointed a Vice President of IPAA (NSW) in December 2021.
