Committee member

The Arpad Elderly Welfare Society Inc (the Society), which is responsible for the Arpad Aged Care facility in Wantirna, Victoria, is seeking expressions of interest from individuals interested to join its governing Committee as ordinary Committee members.  Those with previous governance experience wishing to seek a more challenging responsible officer role are also invited to express an interest.

As part of its ongoing commitment to high quality aged care, Arpad has embarked on a program to strengthen its operations and governance and secure its long-term future. This is in response to several emerging trends such as the evolving regulatory environment and the changing needs of the Hungarian diaspora.

As a committee member, you will play a critical role in the strategic direction of the Arpad Aged Care Facility.

In particular, we are seeking applicants with skills, knowledge and experience in the following areas;

• Investment Services and Finance expertise
• Not for Profit (Aged Care sector)
• Marketing
• IT
• the Building / Construction Industry
• Human Resources (workforce development/IR Issues)

Applicants with strong governance experience and skills would be highly valued. However, those interested in starting their governance career are encouraged to apply. Those new to governance and board roles will be provided with professional development opportunities, including online learning, in-person learning along with coaching and mentoring. The professional development program is available to those who commit to joining the Arpad Aged Care committee.
