EMF is seeking an experienced and engaged professional to contribute strategic insight, independent judgement and constructive advice to support the organisation’s governance and future direction.

The Finance, Risk and Audit Committee (FRAC) supports the EMF Board by providing oversight and assurance across financial reporting and sustainability, enterprise risk management, audit, internal controls, regulatory compliance and organisational governance.

The Committee brings together expertise across accounting, corporate finance, health and governance. The successful candidate will complement these capabilities by bringing senior experience in government, public-sector health or strategic policy.

• Senior leadership experience within government, public-sector health, human services or another complex regulated environment
• Experience in strategy, policy, governance or major organisational reform
• A strong understanding of public-sector accountability, regulatory compliance and government decision-making
• The ability to identify significant strategic, operational, regulatory and reputational risks
• Sound judgement and the ability to provide practical, independent advice
• High standards of integrity, confidentiality and collaborative conduct

Experience within Queensland Health or the broader Queensland Government, the not-for-profit sector, or in health-system reform, workforce strategy or clinical education would be highly regarded. A recognised governance qualification, including GAICD or equivalent, would also be desirable.

The Committee meets approximately five times each year, generally every two to three months, with additional meetings held where required. Meetings are held in Brisbane and/or via videoconference, and members are expected to review meeting papers in advance and actively contribute to Committee discussions.

The appointment will initially be for one year, with the potential for renewal for up to a total term of three years, subject to the ongoing needs of the Committee and approval by the EMF Board.

This is a voluntary, unpaid appointment.

Interested applicants should forward their resume and a one-page Expression of Interest addressing the selection criteria above to Ms Cara Green, Company Secretary, via cara.green@emfoundation.org.au 

The Committee Terms of Reference are also available via email.
