Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Healthy Land & Water Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

About the role

As the organisation embarks on an exciting next phase of growth and diversification, Healthy Land & Water is seeking a Chair and a Non-Executive Director with financial expertise who will also participate on the Risk and Audit Committee to help guide its future success and impact. Both roles are remunerated and offer the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the health and resilience of one of Australia's most liveable regions.

The incoming Chair will be a respected leader with a track record of guiding organisations through periods of strategic and financial transformation. You'll bring credibility across government, industry and community sectors, strong governance capability, and a collaborative, inclusive leadership style. Your ability to influence, build partnerships and foster confidence among diverse stakeholders will be central to ensuring Healthy Land & Water's continued success and impact.

The new Non-Executive Director will be a commercially minded professional with accounting qualifications (CA/CPA) and deep financial and risk management expertise. You'll bring strong commercial acumen, practical experience overseeing audit and compliance functions, and the ability to provide balanced, independent insight into financial strategy and governance matters.

These appointments come at a pivotal time for the organisation as it strengthens its governance structures, diversifies funding streams, and deepens partnerships across sectors. You'll be joining an experienced and purpose-driven Board and leadership team united by a shared commitment to environmental sustainability, community wellbeing, and climate resilience.

Both positions are paid part-time roles with modest time commitments across the year. A genuine passion for sustainability, sound judgment, and the ability to contribute constructively to collective decision-making will be essential.

Healthy Land & Water is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive Board. We warmly encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Confidential enquiries are encouraged. Please contact Natasha Olsson-Seeto or Jay Baxter at OnTalent on for further information, and visit to apply.

Applications close: Midnight Wednesday, the 29th of October.

As part of your application, please highlight if you are applying for the Chair or Non-Executive Director position in your cover letter.
