Dave Kramer is a Behavioural Scientist who has dedicated his life to empowering individuals to contribute to community safety, since the tragic loss of his best friend, Hannah Clarke, and her three children in February 2020.
As a sought-after keynote speaker and ambassador for Small Steps 4 Hannah, Dave facilitates impactful conversations across Australia on topics such as masculinity, gender-based violence prevention, respectful relationships, and fostering safe community behaviour. His unique blend of honesty, personal narrative, and evidence-based violence prevention research has earned him invitations to share his insights on the award-winning podcast, "Hannah’s Story," and the Queensland Police Service podcast initiative, "Behind the Doors of Domestic Violence”. Additionally, Dave has lent his expertise to speaking panels alongside prominent violence prevention activists Tarang Chawla (Not one more Nikki) and Matt Brown (She is not your rehab).
Driven by a vision of a safer tomorrow and the legacy of Hannah Clarke and her three children, Dave has also pioneered the HALT Program - a ground-breaking Small Steps 4 Hannah initiative dedicated to investing in young people as the champions of safe and equal relationships. Through these extensive engagements in speaking and education, Dave supports all people to take actionable steps towards cultivating a culture of safety and respect.
