Meet Kim Brislane

Growing the visibility of good causes is about identifying the story, the why, the point of impact. My desire to make a difference energises my work as CEO, motivates me through my board member roles, and pushes me to maintain an ethical and strategic focus.. There’s no challenge or complexity I won’t take on because I know the work I do uplifts and supports others.

I believe in giving back and serving communities, and the best way to do that is to uphold my values of honesty, transparency, and integrity. These are principles I take to heart, whether managing growth, ensuring change and transformation is realised, or writing and implementing policies that enhance operational and financial effectiveness or driving fundraising and communications.

Adept at brand positioning, I understand how to ensure an organisation appeals to the right people for the right reasons. That’s what I did as the former Deputy CEO/Communications and Events Director at The Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation and the CEO of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Australia. I also bring this lens in my current role on the Executive of the World Health Organisation’s Australian Collaborating Centre Network.

If you are all things to all people, then you are nothing to anyone. I believe that sentiment, and that’s why I’m unapologetic about what ADDRI stands for and what we are fighting towards. I enjoy executing long-term visionary campaigns, driving strategic direction and nurturing partnerships with relevant bodies and agencies.

I thrive on high-impact projects, and have the resilience and courage to work on the ground and do the heavy lifting because, at the end of the day, it’s the difference we make that matters – “No one is bigger than the Game.”
