Executive Leadership Team (ELT)

Mission Australia Employment Solutions, Community Services and MA Housing divisions are headed by executives who, along with our Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Leader People and National Chaplain, and led by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Toby Hall, make up the Executive Leadership Team (ELT ).

The ELT provides professional management leadership that plans, organises and controls Mission Australia’s activities in pursuit of the organisational vision and objectives. Led by CEO Toby Hall, it meets fortnightly to review operations, identify our priorities and plan for the future.

The ELT steered the development of Our Strategy Towards 2020, which outlines our 10-year strategic direction, identifies our core business and priorities, and aims to ensure Mission Australia is in top shape to take on future challenges.

Our ELT currently consists of:
