Handball Victoria is seeking a committed and organised volunteer Secretary to join its Board and help strengthen the governance and administration of the sport in Victoria.
Handball is an Olympic sport with significant growth potential in Australia, particularly in the lead-up to Brisbane 2032. Handball Victoria is currently building its competition, participation, club development and high-performance pathways, and is looking for capable people to help guide the next stage of growth.
The Secretary is an officebearer role and plays an important part in ensuring the Board operates effectively, transparently and in accordance with its Rules and governance obligations.
Key responsibilities include:
- preparing and circulating Board meeting agendas
- recording and distributing accurate minutes
- maintaining an action register and following up agreed actions
- supporting compliance with Handball Victoria’s Rules, policies and reporting obligations
- assisting with member and club communications where required
- supporting good governance practice across the organisation
- working collaboratively with the President, Treasurer and other Board members
This is a volunteer role suited to someone with strong administration, writing, governance or organisational skills. Prior board or secretary experience would be highly regarded, but is not essential for the right person.
We are looking for someone who is reliable, practical, collaborative and interested in helping a growing Olympic sport build a stronger future in Victoria.
Previous board, committee or company secretary experience, and/or membership of or qualifications through the Australian Institute of Company Directors, will be highly regarded.
- Handball Victoria is also currently recruiting for a separate volunteer Board Member position. Applicants are welcome to indicate if they would like to be considered for either role.
