As Head of Engagement, Olivia is responsible for introducing people, families and businesses to the joy of strategic and progressive philanthropy at Australian Communities Foundation.
“I am passionate about the future of Australia. We have so much unrealised promise and a chance to create a sustainable, inclusive and prosperous country, integrating the ways of the oldest continuous civilisation on the planet with all that’s best about recent western and global arrivals.”

“I’m also passionate about introducing younger generations to the joy of giving.”
“My thirty years of work experience is diverse and has ranged over a number of sectors. Previous roles include ITC consultant, operations manager of an advertising agency, Anglican priest, founder of an alternative health social enterprise, executive in a large NFP delivering age and community care and principal of an entrepreneurial services consultancy. I hold Bachelor degrees in Science (Uni. Melb), Theology and Ministry (Aust. College of Ministry) and am a graduate of the Arrow Leadership program, Melbourne Business School General Management Course, AICD Directorship Course, and have served on numerous for-purpose boards.”
“The launch of Victoria’s first Indigenous-led fund, Koondee Woonga-gat Toor-rong (KWT), is a big step for our community in supporting Indigenous self-determination. I think it demonstrates the Foundation’s humility and willingness to learn, and it’s a step towards a better future.”
