The Midlife Foundation is a new Australian health promotion charity in establishment. It works to prevent and control the sexual, pelvic and genitourinary health conditions of perimenopause and menopause, including genitourinary syndrome of menopause, incontinence, prolapse and sexual pain. Its focus is women on low incomes, women living with disability, and women in regional and remote areas.

In 2027 it plans twenty free education sessions for 600 women, mostly in regional Western Australia, ten scholarships for regional health professionals, co-design with an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation, and an independent evaluation.

The estimated year one budget is $213,000. No funding is secured yet. Each programme starts only when its funding is confirmed in writing. The budget is published at themidlifefoundation.com/reports.

The company is not yet registered and no independent directors have been appointed. The founder, Hope, is the only founding director. We seek an independent Treasurer, a qualified accountant (Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand or CPA Australia) with not-for-profit or grant finance experience. You would set up financial controls, the budget, the gift fund and receipting, and grant reporting, present financial reports at each meeting, act as a bank signatory, and chair the finance, audit and risk committee. About four to six hours a month.

Four board meetings a year, mostly online. Three year term, renewable. The role is unpaid, and expenses are reimbursed. You must have no connection to School of Sexual Wellness Pty Ltd, the founder's business. Purchases from it are decided by independent directors only and published.

Shortlisted candidates receive the constitution brief, policies, budget, risk register and role description, and are welcome to meet the founder before deciding. Details at themidlifefoundation.com/board.
