About the Role

  • Building, maintaining and utilizing good working relationships with internal staff and senior executives, Board members and external stakeholders, using influence to deliver high quality outcomes.
  • Having a confident yet flexible approach to delivering and coordinating secretariat functions including scheduling and sequencing of meetings, coordination of programmed Board and committee activities (e.g., reviews and appointments) and monitoring of a shared mailbox.
  • Coordinating and distributing information between the Agency and the Food Regulation Secretariat at the Australian Department of Health.
  • Supporting the Governance and Secretariat Manager, contributing to the delivery of governance functions, including internal and external audits, risk management and performance reporting.
