In addition to her professional roles, Sarah also serves on several diverse Boards and committees. Her current governance roles include Chair of the Australian Charities and Not -for-profits Commission (ACNC) Advisory Board, Deputy Chair of Teach for Australia, and Director of Social Ventures Australia.
