Monday 20 May 2024
The Aboriginal Legal Service (NSW/ACT) Ltd has called a company member election for Saturday 25 May.
The election will lead to the appointment of up to 30 members, who in turn, will appoint up to 12 directors from amongst themselves to form the ALS Board. New members and directors will take office from 1 July 2024 for a period of 3 years.
“We encourage community to attend their regional election meeting, join us for a cuppa and lunch, and help elect regional representatives for the ALS. This is what community control is all about,” said Jason Allan, current Chairperson of the Aboriginal Legal Service (NSW/ACT) Ltd (ALS).
The ALS was one of Australia’s first Aboriginal community-controlled organisations and remains owned and governed by the communities it serves.
Election events will take place at:
- Central South Eastern Region: Queanbeyan Showground, Glebe Avenue, Queanbeyan
- Northern Region: Tamworth Community Centre, 3A Darling St, Tamworth
- Western Region: Bushman’s Motor Inn, 9-13 Peak Hill Rd, Parkes
Polling booths will be open from 10am to 1pm.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults aged 18+ are invited to vote in the region where they normally reside. Voters must bring photo ID with their address.
More information, including a map of ALS regions, is available online at www.alsnswact.org.au/election.
