Legality Whistleblowing's answer

Companies of all sizes and industries, and Public Authorities

Elker's answer:

At the heart of Elker lies a clear principle: every person should have a space to speak openly, be genuinely understood, and find effective resolutions. Our founders, Shirli Kirschner and Jack Murray, bring their unique expertise to this shared vision.

Shirli Kirschner, with a background in law, mediation and dispute system design, worked at leading Australian law firms, including Allens and Gilbert & Tobin. As Director of Resolve Advisors, Shirli supported a range of businesses to develop early intervention systems that provide better outcomes for individuals needing support and was a leader in systems for the prevention and resolution of disputes. As a sessional Registrar at the Federal Circuit Court, Shirli saw how many businesses could resolve issues prior to court if only they had a way of knowing about them earlier.

Jack Murray combines his tech knowledge with a strong commitment to privacy. Jack was inspired to build Elker after learning from people firsthand about the struggles they faced when navigating challenges at university and at work. With his background in law and communication, Jack saw the need for a platform that provided more than just a communication outlet – one that offered genuine understanding and a supportive user experience for people experiencing difficulty.

Elker stands on three primary pillars:

• Transparency: Everyone should clearly understand processes and feel a part of them.
• Agency: People should have control over their stories and be active in finding solutions.
