How are Directors appointed?
A Member Director can only be appointed after being nominated in writing by the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU). The ACTU must agree to a Member Director's terms of appointment being determined, varied or terminated unless the Director dies, retires, resigns or becomes disqualified to continue as a Director.
All Employer Directors are appointed after being nominated in writing by Telstra. Alternate Employer Directors have also been nominated by Telstra to vote and act in the absence of appointed Employer Directors.
The Chairman may only be appointed, removed or have the terms of appointment varied upon the resolution of directors.
