Isobel Griffin has replaced Bea Brickhill as the Academy’s Fundraising and Development Manager. Isobel comes to the Academy from the Canberra Symphony Orchestra where her principal role was to develop private giving and bequest programs adding to the already strong Corporate Partnerships Program at the orchestra.
Isobel is looking forward to meeting with and hearing from the Academy’s donors and business partners on how, together, the Academy can be better supported in the future.

Walking into the beautiful Shine Dome at the Australian Academy of Science, you are immediately surrounded by its rich and proud history. But you can be assured that our eyes are firmly set on the future.
Major new challenges such as climate change, infectious diseases, dwindling energy supplies, poverty and economic development demand strong scientific leadership on a national and global scale.
Join a community of supporters committed to exploration, innovation, and education. The deeper your engagement, the more central you are to the Academy's core values and strengths—and the greater your impact on the issues you care most about.
For over 60 years, Fellows and friends have helped the Academy to maintain a degree of financial independence through their donations.
Your support through your bequest will allow us to continue to promote excellence in scientific research nationally and internationally, to develop and sustain a national scientific culture, ensure current and future generations have the opportunity to secure quality science education in our schools and provide valued independent scientific advice to assist policy development and program delivery.
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss any questions you may have about ways in which you can support our endeavors through a bequest. Please contact Isobel Griffin on 02 6201 9471 or email bequests@science.org.au.
