Fiona Brell

Fiona currently works as Regional Education Lead and has worked in the education team since 2016. She enjoys finding new ways to meaningfully engage our youngest audiences and her current project is focused on implementing a new preschool loans program aimed at regional preschools and communities.

Fiona is interested in what young people think, thinks the voice of the child should assist in informing what we do, and believes Museum learning offers a unique and rewarding experience. She has worked in Museums for a number of years in education, project management, programming, event curation, digital learning and audience development. She has previously held roles at Sydney Living Museums, the British Museum, and the Horniman Museum, and has also worked as a primary school teacher in Sydney and as an early years teacher in the UK. Her academic background includes qualifications in Anthropology, Primary School Teaching, and Contemporary Music.

Fiona loves Museums and Galleries and is passionate about the role the Australian Museum has in igniting change, giving students and the public a fresh opportunity to connect with and re-think culture and history, and investigate living and extinct animals in a new light.
