Heather Croall AM: Recognising a colourful career
Originally from Glasgow, Scotland, UniSA alum Heather arrived in Australia with her family when she was around three and settled in Whyalla. After completing her schooling, she headed to London to meet her extended family and worked in the UK and Europe before returning to Adelaide to begin her studies in civil engineering. However, after 12 months of being one of the few female students, Heather decided that this path was not for her and returned to London to immerse herself in the festival and theatre scene.

Over the next 35 years, she travelled back and forth between the UK and SA. During this time she completed a Bachelor of Arts at UniSA and first worked at the Adelaide Fringe. Her career then took her to diverse roles, including making a number of documentaries for SBS, ABC, BBC and Channel 4 in the UK and UNICEF. She also served as the Director of the Australian International Documentary Conference and later as CEO/Director of the Sheffield Doc/Fest before returning to SA as CEO/Artistic Director of the Adelaide Fringe in 2015. In 2023, the Adelaide Fringe ticket sales exceeded the one million mark and her contribution was recognised in this year’s Australia Day Honours.
