Consider standing for the UniSaver board

As a UniSaver member, you have direct representation on the Board of UniSaver Limited, the scheme’s manager and trustee. We call for nominations every 3 years for two member-elected directors. An election is held if we receive more than two nominations. Please consider putting your name forward if you believe you have the skills required to contribute to the running of the scheme at Board level. Each nominee must be endorsed by seven scheme members. Nominations close on Friday 10 May. You can download a nomination form here [PDF, 72 KB].
