Michael Barnett OAM
Chair / Treasurer / Non-Executive Directors (Voluntary)
Job description
- Voluntary Board Positions
Zoe Belle Gender Collective (ZBGC) is seeking expressions of interest for voluntary Board positions, including Chair, Treasurer and up to four (4) Non-Executive Directors.
ZBGC is a trans and gender diverse-led organisation working across advocacy, prevention, systems change, education and community connection. Since emerging from grassroots advocacy in 2007 and formally incorporating in 2012, ZBGC has played an important role in elevating trans and gender diverse voices through community-led initiatives, partnerships, campaigns and leadership development. Grounded in lived experience leadership and community accountability, the organisation works to strengthen the health, wellbeing, safety and social inclusion of trans and gender diverse communities while contributing to broader social and systemic change.
Over recent years, ZBGC has continued to grow its impact through projects including Transfemme and recent partnerships with organisations including Women’s Health in the North, Respect Victoria and Safe and Equal. ZBGC currently operates under the auspice of Thorne Harbour Health and is entering an exciting new phase focused on governance strengthening, strategic planning and long-term sustainability. These appointments come at an important time for the organisation as the Board works to strengthen governance structures, support organisational sustainability and help guide the next chapter of ZBGC’s development.
The Board is currently a working and active Board as the organisation continues formalising and strengthening its governance structures. Directors are expected to contribute thoughtfully to governance discussions, prepare for meetings and participate in shaping the future direction of the organisation. As governance systems continue to mature, the intention is for the Board to progressively transition toward a more traditional governance-focused model over time.
Board meetings are generally held online every two months outside standard business hours, with additional working group discussions or out-of-session decisions occasionally required between meetings. Directors should anticipate an average commitment of approximately 4–6 hours per month.
ZBGC welcomes expressions of interest from people who care deeply about trans and gender diverse communities and who value collaborative, community-led governance. The organisation strongly encourages applications from trans and gender diverse people and recognises lived experience as lived expertise. The Board is particularly interested in hearing from people with experience or expertise in areas including:
- governance and Board leadership
- finance, accounting and financial oversight
- fundraising, philanthropy and commercial partnerships
- marketing, communications and brand strategy
- strategic planning and organisational development; and
- prevention of violence and/or social change work.
