Notes
Non-Executive Director Remuneration
The Board has determined not to seek an increase to the aggregate Director remuneration pool for 2026. The existing pool is considered sufficient due to the planned reduction in Board size from ten Non-Executive Directors to seven Non-Executive Directors. Directors will receive a remuneration increase consistent with the increase approved in the FY27 budget for employee remuneration of 5%, which will be funded from within the existing member-approved remuneration pool.
This pool of funds is for aggregate Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration and is not the amount paid to individual Directors. It is intended for Non-Executive Directors to be paid $141,750 p.a. (base remuneration up from $135,000 or 5%), Committee Chairs to be paid $177, 188 p.a. (a 25% percent loading on base remuneration and up from $168,750 or 5%) and the Board Chair to be paid $255,150 p.a. (an 80% percent loading on base remuneration and up from $243,000 or 5%).
