Misconduct investigation underway into two Powerhouse Museum executives

The NSW government has launched a misconduct investigation into two top executives of the Powerhouse Museum in Parramatta, Australia. CEO Lisa Havilah was suspended just 10 weeks before the museum's grand opening, while Chief Operating Officer Mark Wilsdon was previously replaced by a government official. Arts Minister John Graham stated the investigation began as early as last year, with a formal process initiated in late 2025. The government has not disclosed specific allegations against the executives, but the investigation is described as serious and has led to leadership changes. Havilah's suspension was reportedly due to new allegations, with her main concern being the well-being of her staff and the success of the museum's launch.
