Claire Fairhead

Impact Grants Manager

“Being part of the Foundation is a genuine joy. I feel privileged to see firsthand the generosity of our community and the extraordinary impact of researchers, clinicians and healthcare workers. At its heart, it reflects the very best of humanity - people coming together to improve the lives of others.”

Claire is the Foundation’s Impact Grants Manager, bringing experience in finance, innovation and social impact across Australia and New Zealand. She is passionate about meaningful work that drives positive, sustainable change. One of the most rewarding aspects of her role is championing grant recipients as they ask bold questions to improve outcomes for patients, families and the wider community.

Outside of work, Claire enjoys spending quality time with family and friends and making the most of Perth’s beautiful lifestyle. Having grown up on the coast, she loves anything that gets her outdoors and into the fresh ocean air. An avid reader, she enjoys exploring new ideas around personal growth and wellbeing. Always up for a new challenge, Claire is also a member of Wembley Vets Football Club.
