We are seeking to appoint:
Chair
An experienced and contemporary Board Chair, with a demonstrated track record leading high performing boards. The successful candidate will bring sound judgement, strategic insight, strong governance capability and the ability to foster a constructive and accountable board culture.

- Strategy and Leadership
There are multiple appointments available, with 18-month and three-year terms. Collectively, the Board will provide balanced oversight across governance, financial stewardship, compliance, risk management and strategic growth. Directors who understand the interplay between artistic excellence, commercial sustainability and community relevance will be particularly valued.
These are remunerated positions. The expected time commitment is approximately six or seven Board meetings per annum, with additional committee participation as required. Meetings may be held in person or virtually.
