The Western Australian Museum is seeking expressions of interest from residents of the Mid West region to join the Museum of Geraldton Advisory Committee. Successful applicants will represent the community to the Museum and act as an advocate for the Museum in the community.

About the role

The Museum values the importance of a work environment which is representative of the wider community, and which supports a variety of perspectives.

• There are 6 committee member positions available.
• Appointment of members is for a period of four years from approval by the WA Museum Board of Trustees.
• Members may serve a maximum of three consecutive terms (12 years in total).
