ReGen Strategic
Rebecca Boteler is ReGen Strategic’s Associate Director, Media and brings more than 20 years’ experience working as a journalist in Australia and around the world to the role.
Rebecca’s extensive experience and local media networks make her uniquely placed to provide advice on media strategy and liaison. She knows what it takes to get a story up in Western Australia, and understands the requirements of different media.
Since joining ReGen Strategic in 2013, Rebecca has worked closely with leading not-for-profit groups Lifeline WA, MercyCare and Variety WA to highlight their contributions to society through the media.
In addition, Rebecca has achieved significant media results for a number of First Nations organisations and related government bodies.
This includes coordinating the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation’s World Heritage Listing nomination announcement for one of the world’s oldest collections of rock art; arranging national media for the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation’s inaugural Indigenous bush food symposium; and attracting media attention to MG Corporation’s economic and social achievements, such as the management of the Target 120 program, the establishment of a cotton trial in the East Kimberley and the return of Country to MG people.
She has also received a certificate of completion for the Global Reporting Initiative’s Introduction to sustainability reporting and the GRI Standards 2021 Update.
Prior to joining ReGen Strategic, Rebecca began her professional journey with a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in journalism and public relations, before carving out a career as a radio reporter and newsreader.
After working for a number of media organisations including 6PR, 96fm, Nova and Channel 7, Rebecca joined the ABC in Perth as a Senior Reporter.
Over the course of almost eight years at the ABC, Rebecca worked in a variety of roles in the newsroom, including as a political reporter for radio, a TV current affairs reporter and an Executive Producer.
Rebecca also spent almost three years working as an overseas correspondent, based mostly in Indonesia, where she freelanced for Radio Australia, newspapers, magazines and online.
In her spare time, Rebecca also pursues her passion for travel writing and teaches yoga.
