Fitness Australia opens Board of Directors applications process

Fitness Australia is currently receiving applications for members to join their Board of Directors, with three elected positions available.

Following a change to its constitution agreed at a special general meeting held in Sydney on 30th September, current position openings exist for two Australian Registered Exercise Professionals (AusREPs) members and one Business Member, each for a three-year term.

All Directors, who serve in a voluntary capacity, bring skills and experience to complement each other and enable Fitness Australia to achieve its objectives.

Fitness Australia Chief Executive, Barrie Elvish explains “historically, we haven’t had our Australian Registered Exercise Professionals represented on our Board, so to be giving two AusREP members the opportunity to do so, is significant.

“We encourage our Business and AusREP members to consider the criteria in the information kit and apply to be elected to our Board of Directors.”

Elvish adds that he’s proud of the historic decision made earlier this week where Fitness Australia members and its Board of Directors unanimously voted to have AusREPs from the Australian Register of Exercise Professionals represented on the Board.

Fitness Australia is committed to the continual development of a flexible and agile culture, with effective structures, systems and processes to help achieve the vision for more Australians to be more active, more often.

Applications for positions on the Board are open until 5pm Thursday 24th October 2019.

Nominees for the Board with newly elected Board members to be officially appointed at Fitness Australia's Annual General Meeting in November 2019.

Members wishing to apply should check their email inboxes or contact Fitness Australia on 1300 211 311 for more information.
