• Board meets online for one hour each month, February to November

• Annual in-person Strategic Planning Day in February

• 3-year term, with the option to reapply

• Voting member of the board
   

What you’ll do

• Coordinate board meetings, agendas, minutes and papers

• Keep governance records and the Register of Directors up to date

• Support ACNC reporting and compliance with the Chair and Treasurer

• Help welcome and induct new board members
   

Who we’re looking for
You’ll have experience in governance, legal or admin roles, ideally in the not-for-profit sector. You’re organised, detail-focused and a clear communicator. You understand board responsibilities under Australian charity law, and you care about mental health.

Experience on a not-for-profit board or committee is a bonus.
