"Stereotyping is a kind of blindfold that enables many to ignore the fact that the marginalised and highly stigmatised are first and foremost people, individual human beings like everyone else." Born in Melbourne and raised in Shepparton, her father, a highly decorated Vietnam War hero, died serving on duty as a Detective when she was a baby; her mother raised her with her three older sisters in t
he Australian countryside.

After a successful career working in community correctional services that began in 1999, she managed complex community-based offender rehabilitation programs, including the s*x offenders' register, and wrote ministerial briefing papers and reports for justice commissioners.

In 2009 she was shortlisted for the Royal Academy of Art summer exhibition for her Berlin street photography. Camille is a survivor of childhood s*xual violence and child prostituion (1990 - 1997).
