There is an exciting opportunity to join the Board of Redfern Legal Centre
Are you passionate about social justice, and committed to governance and the community legal sector?
Redfern Legal Centre is looking for several new Directors, to plan for the succession of a number of Directors whose time on the Board will be concluding in the next 6-12 months.
Established in 1977, RLC was the first community legal centre in NSW and the second in Australia. We provide free legal advice, legal services and education to people experiencing disadvantage in our local area and statewide. We work to create positive change through policy and law reform work to address inequalities in the legal system, policies and social practices that cause disadvantage.
We provide effective and integrated free legal services that are client-focused, collaborative, non-discriminatory and responsive to changing community needs – to our local community as well as state-wide. Our specialist legal services focus on tenancy, credit, debt and consumer law, financial abuse, employment law, international students, First Nations justice, and police accountability, and we provide outreach services including through our health justice partnership.
We are seeking First Nations Board Directors and Directors with a strong connection to the local community.
We are also seeking Board Directors with experience or expertise in:
· financial management
· fundraising and communications
· strategic management
· experience in the community sector
· governance and risk management
· strategic planning
Our Board meets at least four times a year and we are keen for Board Directors to attend in person. Please send your application to Camilla Pandolfini by email – camilla@rlc.org.au setting out your interest, relevant expertise and experience, and attaching your CV.
