Togethr Trustees Pty Ltd is the trustee of Equip Super (the Fund). As you are an Equip Super employer, you are able to nominate a candidate to be considered for the position of Employer Director, subject to eligibility under the Board Appointment and Renewal Policy and Fit and Proper Policy.

Nominations open on Tuesday 11 June 2024 and must be received by us, no later than 5:00pm AET on Tuesday 2 July 2024.

Currently, the Trustee Board comprises three Independent Directors, three Member Directors and three Employer Directors. It is important that our Board of Directors maintains the skills and experience required to set the strategic direction of the Fund in the best financial interests of the members.

 In addition to the general skills requirements, the Trustee Board has determined that it is seeking candidates whose skill set complements the current Board; specifically, the successful candidate should be able to demonstrate proficiency in Investment Governance, Financial Acumen, Risk and Compliance and Customer and Retirement Knowledge.

A candidate must meet the minimum skills and qualifications requirements. An external party independent of the Trustee Board and Management has been engaged to assess the skills, education, qualifications and experience of all persons offering themselves for appointment as an Employer Director. You are encouraged to read the Board Appointment and Renewal Policy, Fit and Proper Policy and Employer Director Competency Statement to ensure you understand the Fund’s requirements.

Probity checks, including Police and Bankruptcy checks, qualifications authentication and conflicts declarations will also be required.

Existing Directors are also eligible to stand for re-appointment.
