A former senior journalist, Mr Campbell-Fraser has built a career in communications, spanning both the public and private sectors. He has been an adviser and counsellor to State Premiers, Cabinet Ministers and a range of Government agencies.
Throughout his working life, Mr Campbell-Fraser has been active in a range of community-based organisations.
Mr Bennett is the immediate past chief executive officer of Racing and Wagering WA.

Welcoming Mr Campbell-Fraser and Mr Bennett to the board, Ms Ravlich said the two new members would bring particular expertise in the areas of communications, gaming and business to the Lotterywest board.
The Minister also paid tribute to Ms Conti and Mr Holland, saying they had made a unique contribution to Lotterywest during the past six years.
