With more than thirty years of professional experience, Ms. Davis has proven herself an accomplished educator. She is a dynamic, results-driven leader who has demonstrated success and professionalism throughout her career.

Ms. Davis discovered her passion for teaching while working as a primary school teacher for children for ten years. She joined the Australian Army and devoted 20 years to working in education and training development. During that time she instructed on soldier promotion courses and was an instructor at the Royal Military College where Army officers are trained. While as an instructional designer at the Army Aviation Training Centre she met her husband who was serving at a nearby unit. She then went on to be in charge of the Army’s instructional design unit. Her last years in the Army were spent as Editor of Army’s doctrine where she assisted writers to write doctrine, oversaw graphic artists and photographers, and printers.

Her Army major accomplishment was a 9-month deployment to East Timor, where she led and managed a small team of military and civilian educators to teach English to soldiers of the East Timorese Army.

Fiona joined Victoria Police in 2010 upon leaving the Army. Her key responsibilities involve analyzing, designing, and developing training programs for police recruits, detectives, crime scene officers, and prosecutors. She has also worked with the Police Air Wing to develop a training program for their Aircrewmen. 

As part of her job, Fiona conducts continuous improvement audits for detectives, crime scene officers, and prosecutors, conducts student training file audits, provides compliance advice to internal and external stakeholders to People Development Command, and develops educational processes and standardized document templates for all courses at the Police Academy to use. In 2020 Fiona, as a part of a small team, ensured that Victoria Police was re-accredited as a Registered Training Organisation. This re-accreditation was challenging as it was conducted during Melbourne's COVID-19 2020 lockdown. Fiona mainly worked from home during the two years of lockdown and continuing COVID crisis. Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings became the COVID-normal way of doing business meetings. In 2022 she was able to return to the office and appreciates seeing her colleagues again. Fiona has also taken on the role of managing all the exams that are conducted for police recruits and members requiring promotion. This responsibility involves making, printing, partly marking the exams, as well as reporting the results. She also assists stakeholders to develop both short and long courses through writing lesson plans and assessments.

Ms. Davis maintains her connection to the Army by being an Army Reserve Officer and currently serves with the Australian Army History Unit as a Museum Manager. She has done this role for the past 10 years. She also worked for the Directorate of Operations and Training Area Management by writing a training package for their Range Control Officers Course (these people manage Defence's firing ranges Australia-wide).

During Melbourne's COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, Fiona volunteered for active service in the Army and was deployed to Operation COVID ASSIST. This was where the Australian Defence Force assisted the Victorian Government during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Fiona served on the Headquarters of the Task Force for three and half months as the Intelligence Officer. She told TIP Radio that it was a great opportunity and an honour, but that it was odd deploying to assist your own state in a time of crisis.

Fiona is dedicated to continuing her education. She currently holds a Master of Professional Studies in Instructional Design, a Master of Professional Studies in Teaching ESL, a Bachelor of Education, and a diploma in management and project management. She completed her studies for two further diplomas in 2017: one in Training Design and Development and the other in Vocational Education and Training.
