Prue Walker

Prue is a highly experienced Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) consultant and social worker with over two decades of expertise in child protection and out-of-home care, including adoption and permanent care. Her interest in FASD began during her work with children in the care system in Victoria and the Northern Territory, where she developed a keen interest in understanding and addressing the needs of individuals affected by FASD. In 2009, she travelled to the US and Canada on a Churchill Fellowship, investigating models of care for children with FASD in out-of-home care. Prue has delivered many workshops and presentations on FASD and provides consulting services to organisations and care teams. She is a member of the FASD Guideline Development Group, the Victorian FASD Special Interest Group, and a senior social worker at the Victorian Fetal Alcohol Service (VicFAS) diagnostic clinic at Monash Children’s Hospital.
