We are seeking expressions of interest from committed, values-aligned individuals to join our voluntary Board of Directors.

As we enter our next phase of growth, we are looking to strengthen our board with additional skills and lived or professional experience that reflects the communities we serve—particularly rural and remote communities, low socio-economic areas, and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.

    • Low socio-economic communities

    • Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities

We welcome applicants with professional expertise, lived experience, or a combination of both.

What We’re Looking For

  • A commitment to equity, accessibility, and community-led approaches

  • An understanding of not-for-profit governance (or willingness to learn)

  • Strategic thinking with a practical, collaborative mindset

  • Ability to contribute time for board meetings and committee work

We strongly encourage expressions of interest from people who reflect the diversity of the communities we serve, including people from regional and rural areas and people from CALD backgrounds.
