Chief Executive Officer, FFIA, CFRE

Vicki joined Charlies Foundation for Research in 2016.
With over 25 years’ fundraising experience, Vicki has worked for some of Australia’s most respected not-for-profits, including Cancer Council WA, Mission Australia, the Heart Foundation WA and the Salvation Army, raising millions of dollars for worthy causes along the way.
In recognition of her efforts, Vicki was awarded the prestigious Arthur Venn Fundraising of the Year award from the Fundraising Institute of Australia in 2018.
Vicki loves working at the Foundation because she believes that the high quality of medical care we enjoy today is built upon years of effort by dedicated and talented people investigating the causes of and potential treatments for diseases. The tireless effort of these professionals has made many life-threatening diseases a memory and Vicki is passionate about continuing to support this work.
Outside work, Vicki loves spending time with her husband and two daughters, and is passionate about community service. She is a national director of the Fundraising Institute of Australia and a dedicated member of Mullaloo Surf Life Saving Club. Vicki dedicates her nights to supporting the club and her weekends to surf competitions and training sessions with her daughters.
