Our People
The Don Dunstan Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors, who provide the high level guidance for the Foundation, and a Committee of Management that provides day-to-day governance, meeting on a regular basis to provide strategic direction and management decisions.
The Foundation's governing bodies are supported by a small staff team. They work together to implement the Foundation's strategic directions, supported in turn by a dedicated team of volunteers and interns.
