About us
Police Veterans Victoria is a respected not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting the wellbeing and quality of life of Victoria
police veterans and their families. We provide comprehensive support services, advocacy, and community engagement programmes that make a
meaningful difference to those who have served in policing . Our mission is to ensure that police veterans receive the recognition, support,
and resources they deserve as they transition into civilian life and beyond.
About the role
We are seeking an experienced and visionary Chief Executive Officer to lead Police Veterans Victoria into an
exciting new chapter of growth and impact. This is a full-time position based in Docklands, Victoria, offering the
opportunity to shape the strategic direction of a vital community organisation. As CEO, you will be responsible for the overall leadership,
governance, and performance of the organisation, working closely with the Board of Directors to advance our mission and expand our reach
within the police veteran community. This role offers the chance to make a genuine difference in the lives of those who have dedicated their
careers to public service.
This is a small organisation with a small number of employees and a large volunteer base . It is not a typical CEO role as the incumbent will be expected to assist in all aspects of the organisation, not just the executive tasks.
Key responsibilities

The association sector is in the middle of a leadership handover.
Across Australia and New Zealand, CEOs and Executive Directors are moving on. Some are retiring. Some have gone to larger organisations.
Some have left because the relationship with their Board ran out of puff. The reasons vary, but the movement is noticeable, and Boards are
appointing replacements.
The encouraging part is the calibre of the people coming in. Many are genuinely well suited to the job — capable executives with strong
records behind them. A good number are stepping into an association CEO role for the first time.
Most associations can provide a long list of membership benefits. They may include professional development, advocacy, networking, industry information, events, resources, accreditation, discounts and access to specialist advice. However, a list of benefits does not necessarily explain why someone makes the decision to join.
While every Board is different, the same governance issues appear time and again. One of the most common is allowing one person’s behaviour
to dominate the Board table.
Almost every Board has experienced it at some point. One director who seems to consume more time and energy than everyone else combined.
How we help membership based, not-for-profit associations now and into the future.
