Ms Tame set up the Grace Tame Foundation (GTF) in December 2021.
It aims aims to eradicate child sexual abuse in Australia through cultural and structural change.
Ms Tame will "transition" into an advocacy role within the foundation in the coming months, a July 16 GTF media release said.
"My commitment to the success of the Foundation remains, and this new role will align with my energy and skills to maximize my impact," she said.

"I invite anyone to join us in achieving our critical mission."
The Foundation confirmed the role of CEO will be advertised publicly.
Ms Tame became a household name when she won Australian of the Year in 2021 for her efforts to raise awareness of child grooming.
She was the test case of the #LetHerSpeak campaign to overturn gag laws that prevented child sexual abuse survivors from speaking publicly about their own experiences.
