Governance

PBB is governed by a constitution.

In accordance with our constitution, a Board operates to oversee PBB.

The PBB Board is a 'Governance Board' meaning that it concerns itself with oversight to ensure legal and ethical compliance with all laws, rules and funding expectations. 

Fully staffed, PBB's board comprises 9 directors. Of these, 6 are elected and 3 are appointed. 

Each Board Director serves a 3 year tenure.

From amongst the directors, a Chair, Deputy Chair and Treasurer are elected. 

Directors are listed on our team page and on the Australian Government ACNC website. 

One third of the nine directors stand down at each AGM at which they can stand for re-election. 

PBB's Board is carefully selected from applying candidates to ensure diversity of thinking, expertise, geography, gender and experience.

Board applications for 2024 can be made via the form located here.

The Board of PBB reports to and is overseen by PBB's Financial Members.

Financial Membership lasts for up to one year and runs in line with the Financial Year. i.e. July to June.

Financial Membership of PBB enables members to:

• Put questions to the Board at each AGM
