Chief Executive Officer, The Lady Musgrave Trust
Victoria Parker’s career began at the Queensland Department of Housing, where she saw firsthand the transformative impact of safe, stable housing. Her experience launching social and affordable housing and collaborating with community providers deepened her commitment to solutions that change lives. She further honed her expertise at Brisbane City Council, the Urban Development Institute of Australia, and Logan Together, where she championed place-based, intergenerational approaches to community development.
Before joining The Lady Musgrave Trust, Victoria led her own consultancy focused on social impact and community engagement, and founded two successful businesses. Her work has earned national recognition and multiple awards.
Now CEO of The Lady Musgrave Trust, Victoria calls this her dream role: leading Queensland’s oldest charity to deliver safe housing and support for young women and children facing homelessness, mostly due to domestic and family violence. The Trust, operating since 1885 without ongoing government funding, relies on strong partnerships to provide life-changing opportunities and break the cycle of disadvantage for generations.
