"The scale and impact of the challenges we tackle on a day-to-day basis keeps me motivated at every moment in my role."

John Chow is the Director of Information Technology at the NSW Trustee & Guardian.

John directs a team of 50 staff to deliver technology solutions to support the work of the Trustee and Guardian in safeguarding the will, preferences and dignity of people in our community who would otherwise be unable to receive the support that they need.

“My team is responsible for designing, procuring, implementing, and delivering cutting-edge technology to keep up with the demands of our growing client base and the increasing choice that our clients have in how they wish to lead their lives and engage with us.”

The department’s staff of 600 employees manages the finances, medical decisions, and testamentary wishes for over 20,000 clients across NSW representing some of our most vulnerable people in the state.

“The scale and impact of the challenges we tackle on a day-to-day basis keeps me motivated at every moment in my role.”

John and his wife are currently raising two young boys, but when he finds a spare moment, he likes to stay fit in his favourite sport – sabre fencing – where he competes and also coaches.
