This includes the key roles of Convenor—equivalent of Chair—and Treasurer.

This is an opportunity to help support, influence and progress campaigns to protect the precious island of lutruwita/Tasmania and be part of one of the continent’s oldest and most influential environmental campaign organisations.

Our Committee of Management (CoM) plays a crucial role in our strategic direction and has oversight over our campaigns.

We are currently seeking expressions of interest from people who have the following skills, experience and interests:

Committee members are expected to commit around 4-6 hours per month.

For the role of Treasurer this increases to about 6-8 hours

For the Convenor, the time commitment is around 8-12 hours. This includes responding to emails, preparing agendas and attending meetings.

There is no requirement to be located in any specific location in Tasmania, however financial membership of the Wilderness Society is required.
