eCollect prides itself on a looking after our staff members with a family friendly culture and policies in our workplaces.

In 2010, James founded the Kajji Foundation to create opportunities for young Indigenous Australians to live and study in Melbourne. The Kajji Foundation ceased its work in 2018 and its funds went to the Melbourne Indigenous Transitional School.

James is currently the co-convenor of the Australia Long Weekend proposal which seeks to move the date of our national celebration away from 26 January.

James serves as honorary legal counsel for Squash and Racquetball Australia and the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron.

Away from the office, James is a proud husband, father of two, and grandfather of two. He stays active through squash, yoga, and gym sessions, and spends weekends outdoors bushwalking, surfing, or sailing classic wooden yachts, a lifelong passion that reflects his love for challenge, movement, and the sea.
