Humanists Australia strongly supports Collin Acton's push for an adequately balanced pastoral support system in the Australian Defence Forces, as reported by Amy Fallon in The Saturday Paper this week.

Humanists Australia is delighted to announce a new and expanded Board of Directors following the Annual General Meeting on Thursday the 17th November 2022. Three new Directors were ratified during the AGM, with Mary-Anne Cosgrove, Sue James and Josie Ludwig joining Rod Bower and Collin Acton (OAM).

We all know how it feels to be the recipient of a kind gesture or act and the feel-good glow of giving without expectation of receiving. But did you know the benefit of kindness goes well beyond the immediate act or exchange of giving and receiving?

This week, the Humanists Australia (HA) Board issued a correction to an organisational announcement confirming the recent appointment of our new CEO, Dr Dave Scott and the prior departure of Dr Heidi Nicholl from that role. The announcement briefly recognised Dr Nicholl for her wonderful work, wishing her every success as she steps into new ventures. However, one version of the organisational announcement inadvertently omitted to include the designation of “Dr” with Dr Nicholl’s name.
