The organisation is now looking to appoint a new non-executive director to the Board. Board members have a genuine interest and commitment to Dementia Australia’s vision and purpose. Additionally, it is expected that they will occasionally attend public functions and make public statements as an advocate for Dementia Australia.

Successful candidates will be expected to have a working knowledge of the regulatory and compliance requirements of a Board role. Strategic expertise and experience in clinical governance and/or a good understanding of health, disability, and aged care policy, planning, and delivery (particularly the issues involved that relate to dementia) will be highly regarded.

This non-executive director role will require approximately 6 – 8 meetings per annum and these meetings can be conducted either face-to-face or online. Sub-committee meetings are conducted as required. This director will be appointed by the Board for an initial term of three years which can then be renewed by the Board. This is a voluntary, unpaid position. Directors are reimbursed for any out of pocket expenses reasonably incurred in attending Board meetings and related matters.

This is an excellent opportunity to work with a motivated and dedicated Board who are committed to good governance to deliver positive outcomes for people from all backgrounds with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of Dementia, along with their families and carers.
