He is Chairman of two international boards of the largest international non-government development organisation, assisting people with disabilities in the developing world, which generates an annual income of in excess of €100 million (A$140 million).

Mr Fischer has for many years been a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and the Australian Institute of Company Directors. He graduated from University of Melbourne in 1974 with a first class honours Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in geology and geophysics.
