Ms Elenne Ford

Ms Elenne Ford has served on the Board of Good News Unlimited since 2003 and was elected Chair in April 2026. She is deeply committed to advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ through Good News Unlimited, the ministry founded by her father, Dr Desmond Ford, in 1980. Elenne practised for many years as a barrister, specialising in administrative law, before focusing on mediation and conflict resolution. Since undertaking mediation training at Bond University in 2002 and with Peacemaker Ministries (USA) through PeaceWise, an organisation she co-founded, she has worked extensively in mediation, workplace conflict, investigations, coaching and training, with a particular interest in biblical peacemaking. She holds a Master of Arts in Counselling (Biblical Counselling) from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia and is completing a PhD at the University of Queensland. Her research explores the role of self-sacrifice in the mediation of seemingly intractable interpersonal conflict. Elenne and her husband, Peter, live in Sydney, New South Wales.
