How do I apply?
If you are interested in applying to be in our nominations database you will need to provide us with information about yourself, your skills and experience. There are many different types of positions that become vacant each year, and each position requires a person with a particular set of skills and experience.
There is no guarantee that you will be appointed to a board. A number of government agencies make nominations, and the appointing agency considers all nominees on their merits.
What you need to do to apply
- Use our skills checklist to see if you have the skills and knowledge required to be a potential nominee for a government board.
- If you answered yes to at least three questions in the checklist, including the disability question, complete our application form. This form sets out the personal information we need from you. You will need to complete all sections of the form.
- Send your completed application form to us electronically or by post.
What we will do with your application
- We will acknowledge that we have received your application form.
- We will check your application to make sure you have the relevant skills, knowledge and governance experience to be added to our database.
- We will let you know if we want to add you to our database. We will then contact your referee, and may undertake checks on the information that you have provided, to confirm your suitability.
- Once we have confirmed your information and suitability your information will be entered on the database. You may then be short-listed for a nomination if your skills and experiences match the needs of a vacant position.
- We will let you know if we do not accept your application. You can reapply if your skills and experience change.
