FPA Australia – How is it structured?

The Voice of Fire Protection – for the Community

FPA Australia is run by a board of directors made up of 6 elected directors (2 elected each year for a 3-year term), elected by the membership prior to the November AGM. Three more board members are co-opted, for a term of one year by the 6 elected members. Up to three past presdidents may also be asked to sit on the board.

At the board meeting following the AGM, the directors appoint their National President, Senior Vice President, Junior Vice President and Treasurer for the forthcoming year.

The final member of the board is the (non-voting) Chief Executive Officer, who is appointed by the board to fulfil the role of the Association’s Public Officer, run the organisation and manage the team of permanent and temporary staff in the Melbourne-based national office.

FPA Australia has board members from many areas of the fire protection industry. Click here for details on the Board of Directors.
