Board Director - Full Member (Organisational)

The Tasmanian Family and Sexual Violence Alliance (TFSVA) is seeking nominations for two Full Member (Organisational) Directors to join our Board following the 2026 Annual General Meeting.

This is an opportunity to contribute to the governance and strategic direction of Tasmania’s peak body for family violence, sexual violence and child sexual abuse, and to help shape the systems and cultural change needed to end gendered violence in lutruwita/Tasmania.

About the Alliance:

TFSVA brings together more than 50 individual and organisational members from across Tasmania.

Our purpose is to transform the culture and systems that hold gender inequity and violence in place. We work to strengthen the family and sexual violence system, influence policy and drive cultural change by bringing together lived experience, practice knowledge, research and sector expertise.

Our work includes:

• research, policy development and advice;

• advocacy and representation to government and other decision-makers;

• sector consultation and collaboration;

• information sharing and community engagement; and

• workforce development and capacity-building.
