Kay Cohen is an experienced historian specialising in government administration, the history of organisations, and Queensland's history and cultural heritage. She is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland.

I am a historian and cultural heritage management professional with more than two decades experience operating in frontline management of Indigenous and historic cultural heritage and community relations matters associated with mining, exploration, infrastructure and land development, forestry and natural resource management.
Having successfully performed a variety of heritage management roles in both the public and private sectors over the last twenty years I have developed high order expertise, technical skills and experience in all aspects of historic and Indigenous cultural heritage management.
I have experienced first-hand, and understand, the many challenges encountered by businesses when dealing with often complex cultural heritage management and related community relations issues.
