Claire Mallinson
Claire Mallinson joined Amnesty International Australia as National Director in October 2007 with more than 20 years of experience in rights-based work and the not for profit sector.
Claire began her work in the sector at the UK’s biggest not for profit disability organisation, Scope. She left Scope to become the youngest Director of a UK top five charity, the Cancer Research Campaign.
Claire was then headhunted by Greenpeace Australia Pacific and moved to Sydney to take up the role of Director of Fundraising and Marketing before joining Amnesty International Australia.
