His Excellency the Honourable Chris Dawson AC APM,
Governor of Western Australia
The Dawson family have been part of the early colonial settlers over five generations of farming and law enforcement. Chris Dawson’s great-great-grandparents arrived in the then Swan River colony in Western Australia in the early 1800s.
Chris was educated at Perth Modern School before joining the Western Australia Police Force as a cadet in 1976. Chris joined the Western Australia Police Force in February 1976, going on to provide 46 years of service in Australian law enforcement.
Ed Surrey
Keynote Speaker 2026
Growing up just south of London, Ed had the privilege of being taught about the gospel from a very young age by his parents and through their local church, but the turning point for him came while he was at university.
Ed completed a degree in Psychology before marrying Sally and become a Maths Teacher for a couple of years in England. The couple moved to Perth for what they thought would be a one-year adventure to work for a church. Six years later he completed a degree in theology, wrote a couple of books and their children were born during this time.
