Dave Kramer is a Behavioural Scientist and gender-based violence prevention specialist with extensive experience in youth education and organisational culture change. As a sought-after speaker he brings a mix of evidence-based research, personal narrative, and practical insight to conversations about behaviour, culture, and collective accountability His work is shaped by the loss of his best friend, Hannah Clarke, and her three children on 19 February 2020, and by a commitment to carrying forward their legacy of empathy, courage, and connection.
In the youth space, Dave has delivered over 250 workshops to more than 25,000 young people across Australia, focusing on respectful relationships, power dynamics, the impacts of harmful behaviour, and the development of empathy and resilience. His approach translates behavioural theory into practical, actionable skills informed by the lived experiences of young people.
Alongside his work with youth, Dave supports organisations to strengthen cultures of safety and respect through trauma-informed training. He has delivered programs in complex, male-dominated environments—including the Australian Army, Queensland Police Service, NRMA, and the Australian Antarctic Division—applying his expertise to understand how mental health and cultural norms shape behaviour. His work emphasises early intervention, collective accountability, and implementing team-based strategies that build safer, more respectful workplaces.
