Join Simon Ambrose, CEO of the National Trust of Australia, Victoria (NTAV) for a lecture sharing the heritage of Australia – from past to present to future. The NTAV has played a key role in the protection of Australia’s legacy. After celebrating their 60^th anniversary in 2016, Simon and his team have begun charting a vision for the future and a road map to achieve it. During this lecture, Simon will outline some of NTAV’s plans.

Australia’s heritage is an amalgamation of socialisation, environment, buildings, bridges, roads, gardens, trees, landscapes – everything in and around us. The NTAV is an independent non-profit supported by a large community base and is the premier heritage and conservation organisation in the state. The organisation’s role is to not only plan for the future but preserve the vibrant past of the community.

Summary

The HCV was formed as an advisory body in 2001 and incorporated in 2003. It comprises representatives from cultural and educational institutions and heritage bodies; history teachers and curriculum advisors; academic and professional historians; and local, Indigenous, community and specialist history organisations.

As the peak body for history, the HCV has both ‘outward-looking’ roles (including advocacy and representation to government and the wider community, consultation, community education, and networking with allied interest groups) and ‘inward-looking’ roles (including member support, information dissemination, and networking between members).
