Lukas Carey

Dr Lukas Carey completed his Doctorate in Education and has worked in the field for most of his career as a coach, teacher, trainer, and educator. While filling a role in Australian local government he was charged with and convicted of receiving secret commissions and served time in prison. During and since Lukas’ incarceration, he developed a strong interest in the role that previously incarcerated people have in the development of policy and procedure in the justice system concerned with education, recidivism, and re-entry. As a previous school principal of a school with at risk young people and currently the Education and Advocacy Manager for a large not for profit in Western Australia, Lukas uses his own lived experience as a Credible Messenger to mentor, design and implement programs to improve re-entry possibilities for men, women, and young people.
