About

Chief HR was established in 2024 to create a dedicated space for Chief Human Resources Officers. Today, our community brings together over 150 CHRO members from organisations across Australia.


In a role defined by complexity and constant change, Chief HR offers CHROs a trusted space to connect, think clearly and have real conversations with peers.


Founded and led by CEO Janelle Leonard, Chief HR is shaped by deep listening to the realities of the CHRO role. Through the leadership of our President and a Member Advisory Board, member insight helps guide our priorities and focus.
