Cameron Barrack has worked in the homelessness sector for over ten years and is currently the Program Manager for Homelessness Case Management and Outreach Teams with The Salvation Army. He has extensive experience working alongside individuals, families and communities who are at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness.

Cameron began his career as a frontline support worker and has since held roles across intake and assessment, case management, team leadership and program management. This progression has provided him with a comprehensive understanding of both direct service delivery and broader system level responses to homelessness.

He brings both professional expertise and personal insight to his work, drawing on his own lived experience to inform how he leads, advocates and connects with clients and teams. His approach is grounded in trauma informed, person-centred practice, with a strong commitment to supporting teams to deliver services that prioritise empathy, dignity and respect. Cameron has a particular interest in how lived experience can be authentically integrated into practice, policy and program development to create more responsive, effective and client focused services.

In his current role, Cameron leads homelessness and outreach programs that provide flexible, client centred support in the context of increasing housing shortages and cost of living pressures. He is passionate about advocating for lived experience to be recognised as a valuable form of expertise, ensuring that people with real world experience help shape the design, delivery and evaluation of services. By elevating these voices, he aims to foster more compassionate services, stronger client engagement and improved outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.
