Emeritus Professor

Professor Kerryann Walsh

Professor Kerryann Walsh is a highly distinguished scholar and academic leader, who has made exceptional contributions to international research, teaching and service in the field of child protection and safeguarding practice.

Professor Walsh retired from QUT in June 2025 after 26 years of distinguished service. During that time, she held significant academic and leadership roles. She acted as Head of School on over 60 occasions, led several major research initiatives, served on almost 90 higher degree research panels or examinations, and graduated 25 research students. She is a dedicated mentor and educator, guiding countless students and early-career researchers.

Professor Walsh has published extensively with more than 100 publications, and is acknowledged as a highly cited scholar, reflecting her significant impact on the field. She has secured major research funding, led multi-institutional collaborations, and led expert academic advice into inquiries including the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. Her work underpinned the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations and informed frameworks for online safety education adopted by the eSafety Commissioner and the World Health Organisation. She also designed QUT’s free Massive Online Open Course, Child Protection for Teachers, which has reached over 25,000 students worldwide.

Her contributions have made a lasting impact on the academic community, and her work will continue to influence and guide future research and practice in child safety on a global scale.

Professor Walsh holds a Doctor of Philosophy from QUT (2002), a Bachelor of Educational Studies (Honours I) from The University of Queensland (1995), and a Diploma of Teaching from Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education (now University of Southern Queensland) (1985).

In recognition of her sustained and substantial academic service, QUT Council has awarded Professor Kerryann Walsh the title of Professor Emeritus.
