After an early teaching career in one-teacher and Aboriginal schools NSW and the NT, Neil Holm played a key role in the development of the Aboriginal Teacher Education Centre (the forerunner of Batchelor Institute for Indigenous Tertiary Education).

He extended his cross-cultural education and administration skills as Director of International House (a cosmopolitan residential college within The University of Queensland) and as Administration and Development Manager at St John's Anglican Church (an inner-city church working in partnership with marginalised people in the Kings Cross/Darlinghurst area of Sydney). His long interest in the integration of faith and work has been expressed through his membership of the Australian Christian Forum on Education, editing the international Journal of Christian Education for 10 years, and serving on the board of the Zadok Institute for Christianity and Society for 10 years. He is a life member of the Australian College of Educators.   Neil is also involved in the Wellspring Community.
