The quiet Australian winter hasn’t been quiet for the Palin Communications team. We have welcomed four new people in the last three months and have been busy integrating this new PR talent into our team.

Ellen Hahn and Sajini Subhaskaran both relocated to Sydney from the UK. Sajini, has joined us as a Senior Account Manager with three years’ experience in the health PR industry. She is passionate about reducing the health knowledge gap through powerful and creative disease awareness campaigns that prompt people to take action.

Ellen is a Senior Account Executive who worked in health PR in the UK on communication programs for a range of high profile clients. She is passionate about how health communications can positively impact public health, reduce stigma and demystify topics that some people see as taboo.
