The Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle is seeking expressions of interest from members of the Diocesan community to join the Diocesan Advisory Board.
Board members are appointed by the Bishop.
The Diocesan Advisory Board provides advisory support to the Bishop and Trustees of the Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle in their oversight of the governance of the Diocese and its Agencies, including CatholicCare, Catholic Community Fund, St Nicholas Early Education and Catholic Schools Office.
The Board also has the canonical responsibility as the Diocesan Finance Council to consider the financial functioning of the Diocese and relevant advice to the Bishop on the significant operations of the Diocese.
Meetings are held monthly at the Diocesan offices located in Newcastle West as are related sub-committee meetings such as Audit and Risk.
The Diocese is seeking members of the Diocesan community with a background in areas such as education, childcare, social services, community housing, accounting, audit, legal, finance, banking, property, governance or risk.
Some benefits of being a Board member include service to the Church and wider community, fellowship, skills enhancement, and leadership, professional and personal development.
The Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle encourages applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as well as people with a disability or areas in which Diocesan agencies work.
