Caroline de Mori AM

Executive Chair

Caroline was the driving force behind the creation of EON. She has more than 30 years’ experience as a businesswoman and company director. During her executive career, Caroline frequently travelled to remote areas of Western Australia. She witnessed first-hand the disparity between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians, particularly in health. Recognising that poor nutrition was one of the key reasons for the health disadvantage, Caroline founded EON to partner with Aboriginal communities and schools to create access to fresh and affordable fruit and vegetables, and provide nutrition education and training. Since 2005 the innovative and unique EON Thriving Communities Program has been delivered to 38 remote communities across Western Australia and the Northern Territory, engaging and educating thousands of children and their families in the vital link between nutrition and health. In addition to being Executive Chair of EON Foundation, Caroline was for many years Chair of Landgate (Western Australian Land Information Authority).

In 2021 Caroline was awarded as a Member (AM) in the General Division of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day 2021 Honours List. Caroline was recognised for her significant service to remote Indigenous communities – and to land management.

In 2012 she was the recipient of the Australian of the Year WA Local Hero Award for her work as an Indigenous health advocate, and in 2019 Caroline’s leadership skills were recognised by the Australian Institute of Company Directors when she received the PwC Director Award for Excellence in the Not-for-Profit Sector.
