ANROWS is governed by a board of directors including a chairperson, five independent directors, one Commonwealth Government director and three state government directors.
With the appointment of ANROWS Chair, Sam Mostyn, as Governor-General of Australia, the ANROWS Board is preparing a list of potential nominees for consideration by Relevant State and Territory Ministers to appoint the next Chair of the Board.
Simultaneously, the ANROWS Board is preparing a list of potential nominees for consideration by the Minister to appoint an Independent Director to become the new Chair of the Finance Risk and Audit Committee.
