The Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Ray Lennox as General Manager, Western Division, and Krystal Perkins as General Manager, Eastern Division.

The two recent key appointments reinforce the ILSC’s commitment to delivering the National Indigenous Land and Sea Strategy (NILSS) and achieving positive outcomes for First Nations peoples across Australia.

A proud Samsep, Erub, Torres Strait Islander man, Mr Lennox brings a wealth of experience to the Western Division role. His previous tenure with the ILSC and subsequent leadership positions within the public sector have equipped him with a deep understanding of the issues impacting Indigenous communities.

General Manager, Western Division, Ray Lennox, said:

I’m looking forward to working closely with Indigenous communities across Western Australia, ensuring that our support is aligned with First Nations and their aspirations for land and water rights.

Ms Perkins, a descendant of the Arunta and Nyamal peoples, joins the ILSC with a strong track record in Indigenous economic development and employment. Her previous role at the National Indigenous Australians Agency provided her with invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing First Nations communities.

General Manager, Eastern Division, Krystal Perkins, said:

Working within the ILSC is an invaluable opportunity, to advocate for First Nations land and sea aspirations, and to further advance the cultural, social and economic rights of our communities, and for generations to come.

Mr Lennox commenced his role on 1 August 2024, while Ms Perkins joined the ILSC on 15 July 2024.
