Judge: Best Plain Language Sentence Transformation

Assistant Director, Guidance Communications at Comcare, Melbourne, Australia

After a decade working as a plain language writer, editor and trainer, Caitlin now champions plain language from within the Australian public service. At Comcare, she’s leading implementation of a policy that sets plain language and usability standards for all communications.

Caitlin wins support for plain language by showing that:

It isn’t about dogmatic insistence on rules or readability scores. Instead, it’s an intelligent, flexible, and collaborative communication approach that puts users first.

A returning judge for the Plain Language Awards, Caitlin has also presented at the Clarity conference and developed plain language editing training for the Institute of Professional Editors Ltd.
