Kay Cook

Kay Cook is a sociologist whose work explores how new and developing social policies such as income support, child support and childcare policies, transform relationships between individuals, families and the state. Her work seeks to make the personal impact of these policies explicit in order to provide tangible evidence to policy makers to affect more humanistic reform, particularly in the context of family violence.

She is a member of the federal Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee and the Secretary of The Australian Sociological Association.
