Secretary/Treasurer
Stephen Davies
My career has been in business (insurance and risk), rather than mental health. I have lived and worked in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Hong Kong and India and retired as CEO Hong Kong/COO Asia of a major global insurance broking and risk consulting firm.
Interests include motor-cycling, hiking, reading and, obviously mental health and how we might improve people's lives who are affected by mental illness.
What is my dream bike? I think I am there, or as close as I can be. My motor-cycling "dream" is to ride the bike to its optimum; briskly into the corner on a perfect line, the right gear, in control and cleanly, quickly out. So many roads. Such little time.
Qld Coordinator
Scott Harris
MPsych(Clin), BSc(Hons), BA, Authorised Mental Health Practitioner (QLD).
Scott is a Clinical Psychologist with work history across mental health, disability and employment services. His most recent work has been with QLD Health community mental health teams across North Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Scott has special interests in the areas of men’s mental health, anxiety, substance use, and psychosis illness.
He is a passionate motorcyclist, enjoys a beer and a terrible dad-joke, and rides his KTM 890 Adventure as much as work and family commitments allow.
Victorian Coordinator
John Cantwell
I have been a psychologist for over 20 years working primarily in the not-for-profit sector with people who did not have the means to seek support. I joined POB over 10 years ago. I have participated in numerous rides throughout regional and rural Australia where we have provided mental health supports to various communities along the way. I have enjoyed providing this support and connection to communities at fairs, markets, RSLs, Men's Sheds and cattle stations to name a few.
The adventures with fellow bikers and a caring committed crew of comrades, continues to be a wonderful chapter in my life.

worked across many areas of mental health in the public and private sectors but has a particular
interest working with civilian and military service members who have experienced and live with the
consequences of psychological trauma.

longer and better lives, one conversation at a time.
