Badminton Australia (BA) is calling for nominations for two appointed Director positions (until November 2027), following the recently held Annual General Meeting.

These Director positions provide BA with a great opportunity to ensure our board has the representation that reflects the diversity of our badminton community and encourages people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in sports governance to apply.

In addition, BA’s Board currently comprises 2 women and 3 men as directors, with BA seeking to ensure it has gender balance on the Board.

Based on BA’s current Board skills matrix, nominations are encouraged from those with knowledge and experience in skills in either legal, financial management, commercial strategy, fundraising and marketing.

Directors will be required to attend Board meetings, held every two months, attend Board sub-committee meetings as required and review information between meetings for urgent matters. Meetings are primarily held online.

A successful candidate will be able to understand board processes, their duties as a director and the badminton landscape to ensure good strategic decisions can be made.

For more information, please read the Board Director Position Description.

Applications close 5pm on Friday 9th January 2026.

For a confidential discussion, please contact Julie McDonald, BA President on julie.mcdonald@badminton.org.au

The Badminton Australia Nominations & Remuneration Committee will consider applications as they are received.

Applications, including a cover letter and resume, are to be submitted via email to Tjitte Weistra, CEO, at tjitte.weistra@badminton.org.au
