Sir James Gobbo
The ISS Institute was founded in 1991 by Sir James Gobbo, former Governor of Victoria, to encourage investment in the development of Australia’s specialised skills. In the wake of Sir James Gobbo’s passing, a Fellowship has been created to uphold his legacy. The Sir James Gobbo Legacy Fellowship seeks to support rare and heritage skills, by assisting candidates who require further training overseas in order to build best practice and to further establish themselves here in Australia.
