Meals on Wheels Tasmania is currently seeking applications from suitably experienced professionals to join our board. We are particularly interested in appointing a legal representative to provide valuable expertise in governance, compliance and regulatory matters.

Meals on Wheels Tasmania is a leading community service organisation with a rich 70-year history supporting vulnerable Tasmanians. We deliver over 280,000 meals per year through our dedicated network of over 750 volunteers, backed by a team of passionate employees operating from Smithton in the North-West down to Dover in the South.

As a Director of MOWTAS, you will be expected to allocate at least three hours per month to Board duties. Monthly meetings are held online on the third Tuesday of each month from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. Directors are also required to attend an annual planning session and the Annual General Meeting (AGM), which is traditionally held on a weekend.

These positions are voluntary, with all out-of-pocket expenses covered by MOWTAS.

Successful applicants must hold a current (not older than three years) National Police Check and Working with Vulnerable Persons Card (WWVP), which will be paid for by MOWTAS.

Applicants should possess:

  • Legal qualifications and experience, preferably in corporate, not-for-profit, or aged care sectors.
  • A strong understanding of contemporary corporate governance practices and the legal responsibilities of Board Directors.
  • A genuine interest in the aged care sector and the mission of MOWTAS.
  • High personal and professional integrity, with independent judgment and decision-making capabilities aligned with MOWTAS’ purpose and values.
  • The capacity to devote time and energy to the role.
