There are vacancies for terms of up to 3 years. Trust members are paid for their time.
About the role
The Trust Board consists of 8 Aboriginal members appointed by the Governor.
After a public call for nominations and recommendations from a selection panel, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs nominates new or continuing members to the Governor.
Board members must have experience in:
- South Australian Aboriginal community life and culture generally
- residential community life and culture on Trust land
- the management and conservation of natural resources
- the management of agricultural and pastoral land
- commercial enterprise development
- property management and development
- ecologically sustainable development
- corporate governance and administration.
Meetings may occasionally be held virtually via video or teleconference. It is therefore desirable for nominees to have access to a reliable phone to participate in confidential calls.
