But Gill is much more than a survivor.
Designing a sustainable peace' has become the core focus to her body of work. Under the acronym for Making a Difference ( M.A.D. ), Gill has created both an agency, a think' and do' tank, M.A.D.

She has also been awarded an MBE and an AM in recognition of her work within the Charity sectors. Gill is an active Board Director for The Women's Playhouse Trust, UK and Europe and SALA ( South Australian Living Artists ).
After returning to her native Australia after 26 years in London, she continues to grow her Arts practice, becoming a studio member at Central Studios, Adelaide, after being awarded the Ed Tweddell residency.
Her 2021 Adelaide Fringe debut performance, Still Alive and Kicking, played to sold-out audiences, received five-star reviews and won multiple awards, including the coveted Edinburgh Fringe award.
Her presentations focus on topics such as confidence and trust within ourselves, and how having both allows us to make transformative choices. Gill advocates for the growth of a more confident collective/communities, societies and a nation. As a finalist for Australian of the Year, her platform was centred on the importance of growing a confident and cohesive Australia.
She speaks of change, or rather the negative connotation change has and change-makers are often revered figures who are seen as pioneers' and leaders'. She encourages audiences to take control of change through our Choice of how we React and Respond... and use it as an opportunity.
Her life is built on what she describes as a series of conscious choices, of mindfulness and being aware of the importance of the moment. Sharing what she has learnt about herself, about humanity and the extraordinary and what she believes is an inherent ability to not only face but to rise in the wake of adversity is not only inspiring, but it is valuable insight into what is possible in life.
