This is a nationwide search for a innovative advocate to join us in our mission to Lead Boldly and Think Differently!
About this opportunity
At Wellways, we're flipping the script on traditional leadership.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape how lived experience informs and drives our organisation at every level.
We're seeking a Family Co-Chair to join our inaugural Lived and Living Experience Authority (LLE Authority) an exciting, sector-leading governance initiative co-designed with consumers, carers, service users and the Wellways Board. This is not business as usual.
The LLE Authority represents a new way of thinking about governance, one that values the insights of lived and living experience not just as input, but as leadership. This is a collaborative and ambitious space where flexible thinkers can drive real, lasting change.
The LLE Authority is not a token voice, it's a driving force. Embedded at the highest levels of decision-making, it has real influence to shape organisational strategy, guide cultural transformation and reimagine how we deliver care.

About Wellways
Wellways Australia Limited is a leading not-for-profit mental health and disability support organisation with services in Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and Tasmania. Our services span mental health, disability and community care, and reach thousands of people each year.
We work with a diverse range of people living with mental health issues or various disabilities, and their families, friends and carers, to bring about positive change and build good lives in their communities. This can include creating a home, securing a job and building meaningful relationships.
Our mental health, disability and rehabilitation services bring together evidence from research with an understanding of people’s lived experience—what works for them. Our mental health workforce includes clinicians, nurses, community support workers and ‘peers’—those who have a lived experience of mental illness and recovery. Together, they create an environment that focuses on hope rather than illness.
We work in partnership with people and their families to identify their own needs and goals and support them to attain a great life in the community. Our partnerships extend to clinicians, GPs, hospitals, community health organisations and government, ensuring that our services and programs reach people in the communities in which they live.
