Volunteer Experts:

Our most important resource is the ABV skills registry of approximately 1000 volunteer experts. Each volunteer is highly skilled and an expert in their respective field. Volunteers are drawn from virtually every economic and industry sector and represent the strength of 21st century business and professional know-how.

Staff:

ABV currently has 18 staff members spread between our head office in Canberra, Melbourne and Papua New Guinea. Individuals hail from a variety of professional and cultural backgrounds, bringing unique skills and experience to ABV. Each is committed to the alleviation of poverty and the ABV Guiding Principles. All staff members have a high level of cross-cultural awareness with many having lived and worked overseas. A majority of staff are also proficient or fluent in a language other than English.
