Expressions of Interest are sought from a suitably qualified and experienced person to join the City of Perth’s Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee (ARIC) as an independent Committee Member for a two-year term. There are two independent member positions available.

• Compliance with laws and regulations.

The appointment process will follow Council Policy 1.7 – Independent Committee Members and will consider the qualifications, skills and expertise required for the functions of the Audit and Risk Committee. Exposure to local government is not essential but will be highly regarded.
