Mark Francis was the Project Director from 2020 for the Defence Moral Injury Project which trained ADF chaplains in Moral Injury, and in particular certified them in Pastoral Narrative Disclosure. He joined the Army Reserve at university and became an Infantry officer, training soldiers from varied backgrounds in almost every role in an infantry battalion. He rose to command Sydney University Regiment which focussed on training both soldiers and commissioning officers in tactics and leadership. He then instructed at the Army Command and Staff College, Queenscliff in tactics and military history, and on further promotion became a senior staff officer in Army HQ in Personnel dealing with leadership and emerging issues. Concurrently, he is a Chartered Accountant (but please don’t hold that against him!) and a company director with extensive experience in the Not-For-Profit finance and project sector. He has held various senior corporate roles including CEO, CFO, COO, strategic planning, and strategic change management, with over 40 years’ experience in these fields. Mark is married to Hazel, and together they have two daughters.
