The organisation
Western Sydney Community Legal Centre (WSCLC) exists to provide free legal and social support services for individuals in Western Sydney who are experiencing hardship or systemic barriers. Their broad suite of programs includes legal advice, advocacy, referrals and representation through services such as the Community Legal Centre Program, the Aboriginal Legal Access Program, Domestic Violence Court Advocacy, Tenants’ Services, Home Building Advocacy, Youth Education, and Court Assistance for both children and adults.
WSCLC is committed to social justice, reconciliation and working inclusively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, acknowledging and respecting the traditional custodians of the land.
WSCLC is a not-for-profit public company governed by a skills-based volunteer board, accredited by the National Association of Community Legal Centres.
The role
WSCLC is seeking a Non-Executive Director (Finance) to strengthen the Board’s financial governance and strategic oversight. In this role, you will serve as a Member of the Finance & Audit Committee, guiding financial management, risk, and reporting to ensure the organisation’s sustainability, transparency, and accountability.
Your financial expertise will help shape the future direction of WSCLC as it continues to evolve its skills-based board and broaden its funding base. You’ll play an active role in high-level decision-making, supporting a growing organisation committed to social justice and community impact.
WSCLC are looking for a professional with strong finance and commercial acumen—ideally a CA/CPA or with equivalent senior financial experience—along with prior board or governance exposure. You’ll be forward-thinking, commercially minded, and aligned with WSCLC’s mission to support vulnerable communities. Previous experience or an understanding of the for-purpose space would be an advantage.
A strong connection to Western Sydney—whether through lived experience or professional involvement—is highly valued. So too is your ability to collaborate with a committed board and CEO. Candidates from diverse backgrounds, or with experience in human services, multicultural or community sectors, are encouraged to apply. Your time, insight, and expertise can help drive meaningful change in a purpose-led organisation.
