Call for applications for appointment to the Optometry Board of Australia

18 Nov 2024

There is a vacancy for a practitioner member from Victoria and a community member with no jurisdictional requirement on the Optometry Board of Australia.

The National Scheme has an important role in ensuring the development of a culturally safe and respectful health workforce that is responsive to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples health and contributes to the elimination of racism in the provision of health services.

To achieve this, we have committed to increasing Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander leadership and voices on National Boards and warmly invite Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to apply.

We are also committed to increasing diversity and social inclusion on National Boards. Applications are encouraged from people with a disability, people who identify as LGBTQI and people from culturally diverse backgrounds.

More information about the role, eligibility requirements and the application process can be found within the online application form on Ahpra’s Board member recruitment page.

If you have questions, please contact the Ahpra statutory appointments team via email: statutoryappointments@ahpra.gov.au.

Applications close on Sunday 1 December 2024, 11:55pm AEST.
