The Board includes Tony Bates, Acting Secretary of the Department of Education, Professor Elizabeth Labone, CEO of the Victorian Catholic Education Authority, Rachel Holthouse, CEO of Independent Schools Victoria, Joshua Puls, Deputy Secretary Public Administration at the Department of Premier and Cabinet, Professor Joanna Barbousas, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Education, Impact and Innovation and Dean of the School of Education at La Trobe University, Karen Weston, CEO of Gowrie Victoria and independent members, Jane Brockington and David Sacks.
