Supporter Autumn 2023
Introducing Tim Sarah At the end of last year, we welcomed Tim Sarah to lead our AnglicareSA Board and Believe Housing Australia (AnglicareSA Housing) Board.
Tim officiated as the new Chair of the boards at his first meetings in November and December. The 54-year-old South Australian co-manages the iconic construction company Sarah Group – the legacy of which spans three generations across the state. Tim was 24 years-old when he and cousin James took over the company established by their grandfather in 1961. At the time, Tim was a Chartered Accountant with an Economics Degree from Adelaide University working at accounting firm Ernst & Young. In November last year, Tim took over as Chair of the AnglicareSA Board and the Believe Housing Australia Board from Bruce Linn AM in November. Bruce retired as chair after nine years at the helm.
Tim has served as board member of the Believe Housing Australia Board and as chair of AnglicareSA’s Audit and Risk Committee since 2019 and 2020 respectively. “It is an honour to be able to be involved in AnglicareSA,” says Tim. “AnglicareSA is one of the great institutions of the state and for me to be able to play my part is humbling and deeply satisfying.” Tim says the biggest challenges faced by AnglicareSA include continuing to support those in need during a post- pandemic, cost-of-living crisis. But he says AnglicareSA’s depth, breadth and reach of services, dedicated employees and resources meant we are best placed in serving more of those in need than ever before. “We are AnglicareSA and we are seen as a reputable, quality, community service provider – our size gives us

the ability to knock on doors of government and advocate for those who are voiceless and powerless. “We have the opportunity to be drivers of social justice, a centre of excellence of delivery of community services and to be an attractor of talented employees, of government and of investors – we want people to know that if they want a solution, they will find it at AnglicareSA because AnglicareSA is known to strive to deliver excellence for all South Australians.”
