Like others, the Covid-19 pandemic heightened my awareness of the fragility of our journey, and the deep connection we share as a community. Making the transition from measuring outcomes in terms of profit, to focusing on impact and the intrinsic value of social return on investment, was a compelling choice. I am inspired by the courageous stories of our smallest heroes and their families, and the generosity of our donors. When my children ask, “Did you make a difference, and help make our world a better place?” I can say I tried. I am proud to work at the Foundation on the Frontline.
Kate Quinn
Director of Philanthropy

Over the past 40 years my professional career has involved reaching out to people, changing and informing their world through international media and television, and building new futures for their children through developing world-leading schools in Europe and Australia. Both of these stages of my career have given me an ability to appreciate the needs of our community, particularly in challenging times, and to find ways to address those needs. When I was offered a chance to be part of the team at PCHF, I saw a unique opportunity to apply what I have learned in my life to the needs of children whose lives can be saved through the generosity of others.
Candice Wootton
Head of Operations

After a lengthy career in the private sector, I recently made the leap into the not-for-profit space to focus on work that delivers deep community benefit. I’m proud to work in an environment that elevates the priority of children’s health and increases the quality and accessibility of healthcare through direct investment. My role at the Foundation is to guide strategic thought through to day-to-day operations, ensuring we continue to achieve our goals.
MARK PUGSLEY
Head of Corporate Services
- mark.pugsley@pchf.org.au
- (08) 6456 5543
In a nutshell after spending almost my entire career in the hustle and bustle of the finance sector I wanted to move to a not for profit where hopefully some of my skills would be of use. Knowing I might be contributing to improving the lives of others while at the same time improving my own life (by removing some of the stress and urgency in my day to day work) seemed to be a win win for me. I guess what I am saying I wanted to ease up but not stop and my priorities were more about getting a better life balance!

Having worked in corporate roles both in Australia and overseas, I knew I wanted my next move to be one that would not only fulfil me professionally, but allow me to help make a difference. I can’t imagine a more incredible opportunity than to work at a Foundation on the frontline, helping WA children have the best chance at life possible. I feel so lucky and am so proud to work at PCHF.
