The AIOH Foundation is seeking Expressions of Interest for individuals to join the Foundation Board for a three-year term. This EOI process seeks to fulfil one current vacancy and expected vacancies after the next Annual General Meeting to replace one of the board members who has completed their term.

The AIOH Foundation Ltd. was founded in 2016 as a company limited by guarantee, incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001 (Commonwealth) ACN 614 388 340 and is a registered health promotion charity (focussing on workplace health) with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).

The purpose of the AIOH Foundation is to promote sound science and improved understanding of anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of workplace hazards for all sectors and industries, but particularly for those groups most over represented in occupational disease in Australia.

The minimum commitment of a Board Director of the AIOH Foundation is to attend a monthly, virtual meeting once a month. There is no maximum commitment, and the Board is strategically focussed on communications, advocacy and fundraising to support the Foundation’s Strategic Plan.

Applicants do not have to be a member of the AIOH to apply. The Foundation aims to work within the wider exposure science community of occupational health nurses and practitioners, epidemiologists, occupational physicians, ergonomists, toxicologists, safety engineers, safety professionals, health physicists and health risk communicators. The Board are very interested in EOI’s from individuals who have experience in fundraising to apply to help establish a sustainable income stream for the grants process.
