Research Summary

Petra Campbell, MEM. Founder, CEO and Chairman

Petra is a journalist / producer / director / photographer by profession and a certified Envrionmental Auditor. In 1991, as part of a program she was researching for 60 Minutes on the consequences of Russian nuclear testing in Kazakhstan, she came into contact with a German aid organisation. As a result of this meeting, Petra worked in the field as the charity's Child Sponsorship Program Coordinator for the past 13 years which has given her a solid experience and knowledge of conditions in Africa, the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe and Asia. Her work as both current affairs producer/journalist, and aid worker led Petra to many of the world's disaster areas such as Ukraine after Chernobyl and Rwanda after the genocide. In 1998 Petra returned to Sydney, Australia and developed the Pacific Region Program for the same German charity. While this began as a Child Sponsorship Program it quickly became apparent that the Pacific Region was in need of greater developmental assistance. Petra then founded International Help Fund Australia to harvest the wealth of expertise, experience and generosity that fellow Australians can bring to their Pacific neighbors.

Petra is a Visiting Research Associate at the Pacific Studies Department, School of Social Science and International Studies, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, at the University of New South Wales.
