RSPCA Tasmania is a well-known and highly loved organisation that has been a voice for Tasmanian animals for more than 140 years.

RSPCA Tasmania was founded in 1878 with a mission to prevent cruelty to animals by actively promoting their care and protection.  Today RSPCA Tasmania is governed by a highly dedicated Board of Directors which is now seeking to appoint a new Board member to strengthen their team.

It is an exciting time to be joining the Board with the animal welfare sector undergoing a large amount of change in Tasmania and nationally. The Board is inviting interest from Tasmanian residents who are keen to be actively involved in contributing to the next phase of RSPCA Tasmania’s journey into the next 100 years and beyond.

In particular, the Board is seeking individuals who have skills in the following area:

• Finance and accounting

Candidates should also possess an understanding of governance processes, director responsibilities, ideally within a not for profit environment, and/or director qualifications.  Previous experience as a director is helpful but not essential.

We are looking for a candidate with a heart and passion for improving animal welfare outcomes in Tasmania.

The Board fosters a culture of inclusion valuing individual strengths, perspectives and experiences. It is committed to respecting diversity which enriches decision making to deliver better outcomes for the community and our animals. Candidates who share that commitment and/or who identify and connect with typically under-represented groups within the community are particularly welcome.

The director will be appointed for a period of three years and is a voluntary role. Whilst there is no remuneration for our Board of Directors, reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.

Board meetings are held outside business hours, on the fourth Tuesday of every second month, and generally last for three hours. In addition, the Finance & Audit Committee meets every other month.

If you are interested in nominating, please submit a cover letter of no more than 2 pages, outlining what you feel you can contribute to the RSPCA Tasmania Board, as well as a recent CV by 11.30pm Saturday 9 December 2023. All applications are to be submitted via Seek.
