WiBF Important Board Updates

WiBF held its 2025 Annual General Meeting on Monday 19 May. We took a moment to reflect on our incredible achievements and to look ahead with renewed energy.

As part of this reflection, we encourage you to view our WiBF Community Report – a celebration of the impact we’ve made together.

On behalf of the team, we’d like to congratulate Nicole Chung, Tom Clayton, and Rebecca Warren on their election to the Board, following their service in casual vacancies.

We’re also delighted to welcome two new WiBF Directors: Megan Papadopoulos from Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, and Simon Warner from Aware Super.

Please join us in welcoming the newest members of the WiBF Board:
