RECRUITMENT
Positions open now
Coming soon
Independent directors: We will soon release information about becoming an independent director. We are looking to fill six independent director positions. The first three will be nominated by Disability Representative Organisations (DROs) through a process coordinated by Disability Advocacy Network Australia.
The First Board
After a three year establishment period, the NDRP will formally launch in mid-2024. If you want to read more about the establishment phase you can do that here: About the NDRP.
The Board will consist of up to 11 directors, of which the majority will be people with disability. The Board make-up is:
-
Chair of the Board (must be a person with disability)
-
Two government-appointed directors
-
Eight independent directors, of which three will be nominated by Disability Representative Organisations.
A skills and experience matrix will guide the selection of all directors. See the matrix here: NDRP Skills and Experience matrix.
