CEO Carol Shannon was stood down in April 2023. Her unexplained departure led to staff and volunteer concerns and withdrawal of support from the McCusker Charitable Foundation due to loss of confidence in the organization's direction. Annette Harwood replaced Shannon as CEO on 31 July 2023.[6] The organisation appointed administrators in August 2023.[7][8] It came out of administration in March 2024 after a $3.5 million grant from the Minderoo Foundation and a new board of directors.[9]
Lawson Dixon was announced as CEO in July 2024, and started in the role on 2nd September 2024.
