Badminton Australia (BA) is calling for nominations for a casual Board Director position (until November 2025), due to a recent vacancy with one of its elected positions.

This vacancy provides BA with a great opportunity to align our Board directors to have representation that reflects the diversity of our badminton community and encourages people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds in sports governance to apply.

In addition, BA’s Board currently comprises 5 women and 1 man as directors, with BA keen to have an improved gender balance on the Board. Based on BA’s current Board skills matrix, we also encourage applications from those with knowledge and experience in skills in either legal, risk management and/or commercial strategy.

Directors will be required to attend Board meetings, held every two months, attend Board sub-committee meetings as required and review information between meetings for urgent matters. Meetings are primarily held online.

A successful candidate will be able to understand board processes, their duties as a director and the badminton landscape to ensure good strategic decisions can be made.

For more information, please read the Board-Member-Position-Description

Applications close 5pm on Friday 6th September 2024.

For a confidential discussion, please contact Julie McDonald, BA President on julie.mcdonald@badminton.org.au

Applications, including a cover letter and resume, are to be submitted via email to Tjitte Weistra, CEO, at tjitte.weistra@badminton.org.au

The Badminton Australia Nominations & Remuneration Committee will consider applications as they are received.
