Board election
Our Board of Directors are here to help guide us in supporting the lives of Tasmanians.
Our Constitution requires a ballot of members at the end of directors’ elected terms where there are more candidates than vacant positions.
We’re an independent voice for our members and the Tasmanian community. Our business is increasingly complex and any successful nominee will need to have significant business acumen and be able to demonstrate material and relevant experience in order to contribute to the Board and ensure the continued successful guidance of RACT.
The RACT Board is made up of six Member-Elected directors and up to three Board-Appointed directors.
In 2026 RACT is undertaking an external recruitment process facilitated by Chapman Executive. The deadline for applications was 15 July 2026.
Our election process
1. Nomination
A nomination process takes place annually with the Board setting a fixed date for nominations at least two months before the relevant AGM.
2. Eligibility
Eligibility to nominate for election and the election process is governed by RACT’s Constitution which can be found here: Our Constitution
3. How to apply
In 2026 this is being facilitated by the recruitment firm Chapman Executive. The closing date for applications was 15 July 2026.
4. Skill requirements
As part of the process eligible members nominating for election will need to identify and substantiate their skills, experience and attributes in accordance with our skill requirements, and participate in an interview to evaluate their candidacy.
5. Result requirements
In 2026 there are two member-elected positions up for election.
Should a ballot be required, two percent of eligible members will be required to vote in the ballot for the result to be valid.
