The HFA Constitution establishes a Council as its main governing committee. One Delegate is nominated by each State and Territory Foundation to form the Council, and they elect office-bearers from their own number.
HFA Council meets regularly for the purpose of reporting, establishing policy and setting the directions of the organisation. All Council members act in their roles in a voluntary capacity.
The day-to-day operations of the Foundation are managed by a team of paid staff led by Natashia Coco, Executive Director, and staff based in Melbourne.
