Board of Directors

The Australian-American Fulbright Commission is governed by a Board of Directors composed of five Australians, appointed annually by the Minister of Education, Science and Training under delegated authority of the Prime Minister, and five Americans are appointed by the U.S. Ambassador to Australia.

The Australian Prime Minister and the U.S. Ambassador serve as joint Honorary Co-Chairs of the Commission, while the Board of Directors elects its Chairperson each year from its members. The Fulbright Commission office is based in Canberra and is administered by an Executive Director and five staff.
