The Board of Frontier Services has announced the appointment of Dave Parker as its new National Director, marking a significant moment of renewal and growth for Australia’s oldest bush charity.
Mr Parker brings significant executive experience in managing a diverse and complex portfolio of responsibilities. He joins Frontier Services from Scripture Union Australia, where he held a broad portfolio spanning public advocacy, donor relations, fundraising, marketing and communications, as well as coordinating chaplaincy services and supporting volunteers. In that role, he led geographically dispersed teams through major organisational and cultural change.
The Board described him as an “outstanding fit” for Frontier Services’ future, particularly as the organisation seeks to expand Bush Chaplaincy placements, strengthen First Peoples’ Chaplaincy, and grow volunteer engagement through Outback Links. Frontier Services continues its mission of supporting remote communities across Australia, including those affected by drought, fire and flood.
Mr Parker said he was delighted to accept the role, highlighting his commitment to strengthening practical, pastoral and spiritual care for people in rural and remote areas.
He will commence in late May 2026 following a handover period with interim National Director Rev Lindsay Cullen.
