In Remembrance, Dr Kerry Packer AC: 1937 – 2005

On behalf of the Bond University Council and the wider Bond Community, I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Dr Kerry Packer AC and acknowledge his enormous contribution to the University and more broadly, the Australian community at large.

At age 27, Bond graduate Chelsea McLean decided she wanted to be her own boss, and set about beginning a new venture as a freelance writer and publicist specialising in the growing health and wellbeing industry.

Just one year in from launching her own business, Chelsea’s expertise is now in high demand and she is enjoying the flexibility and rewards of self-employment.

Since graduating from Bond in 1997 with a degree in Journalism, Public Relations and Japanese, Chelsea grew her experience through marketing and public relations roles at Sea World Nara Resort, Jigsaw Public Relations, Nifsan, Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and The Golden Door Health Retreat and Day Spa.

In setting up her own business, Chelsea has combined her passion for generating word of mouth through free, valuable media publicity, with her special interest in health and wellbeing.

“My calling is to get information into the mass media that will help people understand themselves better and be well on all levels – mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.”

The service is based on the idea that positive word of mouth referrals generate greater returns than advertising and help to build profile and credibility. Chelsea also writes newsletters, websites, and awards entries.

If you would like to contact Chelsea, she is contactable on 0413 792 908 or +61 7 5502 2600 or email mail@chelseamclean.com.
