ANFF Headquarters
Overview
In order to oversee the distribution of funding, to implement directives from the various advisory committees and a board of directors, and to govern the national facility in general, ANFF Limited (ANFF), a company limited by guarantee and incorporated in Victoria, was established in 2007.
ANFF HQ staff work across the network to drive national initiatives and seize new opportunities and implement projects that benefit the entire ANFF community.
