The Foundation was established in 1998 by a generous donation from the Wilson family as a partnership between ANU and the Australian Public Service. In 2019, we expanded this partnership to include Charles Darwin University.
The Australian National University (Sir Roland Wilson Foundation) Statute 2019 provides our overarching governance framework.
Our Board is responsible for the governance, management, strategic direction and performance of the Foundation. The Board consists of University and Australian Public Service representatives. The Nominations Committee Charter provides guidelines for nominations and appointments to the Foundation Board.
Our 2020–2025 Strategic Plan outlines our vision of a strong public service with world class leadership and capability to utilise research to address nationally and globally significant public policy issues.
Our two advisory groups guide the Foundation in achieving our purpose, goals and objectives:
- The Pat Turner Scholarship Advisory Group consults with the Foundation on activities related to Pat Turner scholarships and scholars.
- The Alumni Advisory Group represents the interests and views of a growing alumni community and contributes to the activities of the Foundation and its partners.
