Now, TCQ is on the lookout for a passionate Non-Executive Director who will act as Treasurer to join its mission.

- Leverage your strong governance experience to oversee TCQ’s compliance framework, ensuring policies and procedures meet Federal and State Government requirements for not-for-profit organisations.
We are looking for a passionate and engaged Director to join TCQ in a volunteer role (unpaid). Monthly board meetings are primarily held online, with occasional in-person attendance at key events throughout the year, such as our fundraising Gala, champion graduation event, strategy day, and AGM.
