Chair (Board-level role)

The Company is seeking a Chair to lead its Board and help maintain a shared purpose across a federation. The Chair will guide constructive Board meetings, strengthen the Board–CEO partnership, and keep strategy and performance frameworks focused. Responsibilities include overseeing financial sustainability and risk, supporting Board performance and CEO review, and guiding succession planning. The Chair will also build trust with member organizations and government, while ensuring consumer and survivor voices are represented in national policy and reform. Candidates should bring Board experience, sound governance knowledge, financial literacy, and strong facilitation skills; prior Chair experience is valued but not essential. Experience in a federated, membership-based, or similarly complex environment is also desirable. A lived or living experience of mental distress as a consumer is essential, as is a commitment to lived-experience values and amplifying consumer and survivor voices. Formal governance qualifications are not required.
