A Day in the Life of Prue Walker

Prue Walker is a social worker specialising in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition caused by prenatal alcohol exposure, estimated to affect between 1% and 3.5% of people in Australia. Prue works as Clinical Coordinator of FASDConnect at Monash Children’s Hospital, supporting early recognition and assessment of children in out-of-home care, and also runs a private practice providing consultation, training and resources for families, carers and professionals. Across both roles, her work focuses on translating diagnosis into practical support, helping families and systems recognise and respond to FASD more effectively.
