Term
An initial term of 2 years with potential for re-appointment by the Board at its discretion.
Required time commitment and remuneration
Each Board director is required to commit approximately 30 days per annum for meetings and preparation, excluding travel time. The Board will typically schedule 6 Board meetings per year as well as an annual planning day. These meetings are often held around the country and generally require an overnight stay.

Market remuneration is offered for the role.
This role is open to applicants across Australia.
