Board of Directors

Are you interested in becoming a company director and helping the Canberra community at the same time?

Diabetes ACT currently has vacancies on the Board of Directors. Our current directors have a range of skills including medical, financial, business, managerial and communications. We seek to attract people with a complementary range of interests, especially legal. Previous board experience whilst desirable is not essential - enthusiasm is. This is an honorary position.

The role of directors is to set the strategic direction and policies for the organisation and to ensure good corporate governance, providing expertise as required.

Diabetes ACT Ltd is a not for profit organisation which has been serving the Canberra community for the past 42 years. We provide a range of clinical, education and advisory services to people with diabetes and those at risk. Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic disease in Australia and internationally has the same mortality rate as AIDS.

If you are interested in learning more about becoming a director, please contact the CEO, Gordon Melsom on 6287 8727 or email gordon@diabetes-act.com.au.
