Danielle Godfrey is the founder of Girl Aware and a Personal Safety Specialist with over a decade of frontline policing experience.

Growing up in country Victoria, Danielle later worked throughout Melbourne and surrounding suburbs during her policing career. Her experience across both regional and metropolitan communities—along with periods of overseas travel and backpacking—has shaped her understanding of personal safety across a wide range of environments.

Alongside her policing career, Danielle also spent more than ten years working in the fitness industry, teaching both adults and children through schools, community organisations, and workplaces.

As a mother of three, Danielle has a deep understanding of the importance of equipping young people with the confidence and skills to navigate the world safely. By combining professional expertise with real-world insight, she delivers workshops that are trauma-informed, age-appropriate, practical, and empowering—supporting girls and women to build awareness, confidence, and strong personal boundaries.

Danielle holds a Diploma of Policing, an Advanced Diploma of Police Investigations, and Certificates III and IV in Fitness, along with additional training in personal training, community services, and mental health. She founded Girl Aware with a clear mission: to help girls grow up aware, confident, and empowered to trust their instincts and navigate the world safely.
