• leading an alliance of governments, organisations and individuals to ensure that food remains a priority for aged care following the Royal Commission and the 2021 National Congress on Food, Nutrition and the Dining Experience in Aged Care.

The appointee will lead a refresh of the Board ready for the next stage of the Foundation’s impact.  Together with high profile, talented and committed colleagues, the Chair will drive the Foundation’s governance by spearheading vision and strategic processes, managing and directing Board processes and ensuring that risks are assessed and managed. 

Applications are encouraged from leaders with a genuine desire to volunteer their time and capabilities to enhance an already accomplished entity through its next phase.  Experience in for-purpose governance, harnessing the media, networking for purpose and fundraising, creating effective partnerships with government, business and the community and leading board and executive processes will be expected. 

This is a rare opportunity to lead and grow an exceptional organisation alongside an Australian national icon in her drive for nutrition and good food throughout life.
