About

The Australian Red Cross is a leading humanitarian aid and community services charity in Australia and an auxiliary to government with historic roots dating back to the early 20th century. Based in Melbourne, general counsel Bruce Moore has achieved industry-wide praise for his leadership and handling of legal issues affecting the organisation, along with his expertise in employment and industrial law, contract law, privacy law, government and dispute resolution. Grappling with a diverse array of issues, Moore’s advice is multijurisdictional on account of the Australian Red Cross’ several national and international operations often located in places subjected to crises including Syria and Myanmar.

Some of the projects he has been involved in include the development of nationally consistent policy and procedures to guide the organisation’s legal requirements and procedures designed to mitigate and manage the organisation’s legal risks. Such a workload is supplemented by the day to day responsibilities of the organisation, including drafting and negotiating contracts for supply and purchase of goods and services as well as for other contracts. Also relied upon for his nous regarding corporate governance, Moore is well-known for his ability to gauge the needs of business with regards to where the market is shifting; he is constantly required to interpret and implement new procedures in accordance with legal and regulatory reform within the not-for-profit sector.
