Skate Australia is the recognised National Sporting Organisation (NSO) for skateboarding and roller sports in Australia. We are officially recognised by the Australian Sports Commission and the Australian Olympic Committee. Our role is to lead the growth, performance, development, and integrity of skateboarding and roller sports nationally - from grassroots participation to elite international representation - by supporting our athletes, clubs, coaches, and officials across all levels of the sports. After a period of significant transformation, the organisation is seeking nominations from experienced Directors for elected and appointed positions on the Skate Australia Board.

The Board of Directors  

Skate Australia is led by a skills-based board of elected and appointed directors. The Board’s role encompasses the governance of the organisation and to provide strategic leadership.

Skate Australia strives to support and promote excellence in board service through the recruitment of qualified, experienced directors from diverse backgrounds.

We want members of the Skate Australia Board to be advocates for skateboarding and roller sports across all key strategic imperatives. We want people who can question and challenge constructively, who bring diverse views, who can influence others and find solutions. Skate Australia is committed to having a diverse and inclusive culture on our Board, in our organisation and in our sports.

Board meetings are held on a 6-weekly basis via video conference with occasional face-to-face meetings for Strategic Planning Forums, Board Retreats and other activities as needed.
