Celeste Liddle, National Indigenous Organiser
Born on the picturesque plateau known as Canberra, Celeste, a proud Arrernte/Collingwood woman, and her family moved to the land of endless winter (aka Melbourne) when she was 14. Celeste was accepted into La Trobe University where she studied science for two years before seeing the Light and becoming a drama major. She completed her Bachelor of Arts with Honours (Theatre and Drama) in 2002
Celeste started work at the Wilin Centre, Faculty of the VCA, University of Melbourne, the week after she handed in her honours thesis and worked there for 6 years before moving up to the Centre for Indigenous Education as the Senior Recruitment and Engagement Officer. In February 2011, after serving on the UniMelb Branch Committee, as well as the Victorian Division Executive, Celeste commenced her current role as the National Indigenous Organiser at the NTEU where she is greatly enjoying the new challenges
Celeste is also an out of practice actor, playwright and director. Her one-woman show “Not One Nation” played at La Mama in 2003. In the future, Celeste hopes to pursue her love of the theatrical arts by obtaining a PhD (sooner, rather than later!).
