Help give parents a stronger voice in their children’s education …
As the peak representative body across Queensland’s State Schools, this association provides advocacy, leadership and the practical support to almost one million parents. Importantly, it also provides a structured vehicle where parents can volunteer to be involved and partner with principals and teachers to measurably influence high quality educational outcomes.

This powerful for purpose organisation offers numerous practical functions to its members. And while these are vitally important, its real ‘superpower’ lies in making sure the voices of Queensland families around the State are clearly heard as it advocates and lobbies to influence policy, government decision-making and public debate.

With 58,000+ volunteers in 1240 local associations, this is a big, busy, very visible job …
To contend this career-defining opportunity, you’ll need to demonstrate your executive leadership capabilities. These may be in nonprofit, government adjacent or public policy organisations, community or membership-based peak bodies.

Significant experience within a membership organisation, including proactive advocacy with government, strong membership engagement, and exceptional leadership capability is important. As is your awareness of state school education ecology - including the policy environment, the needs/priorities of school communities and the dynamics between government, departments, peak bodies and stakeholders.

A highly qualified, well-rounded and seasoned professional, you are clearly ready to step confidently into the CEO responsibilities of this impressive role. You can show many examples of your strength in shaping and executing strategic plans, with clear prioritisation and outcome measurement. Politically astute and a credible influencer, you lead (don’t follow) in advocacy situations and contribute strongly to realistic policy positions.

Hands-on, confident and pragmatic, with a long interest in children’s education and a genuine connection to the volunteer philosophy, you listen actively, learn quickly, build and maintain strong relationships and are adept at translating tactical plans into meaningful action. Diplomatic and curious, dedicated to proactive advocacy, and well‑grounded in compliance and governance, with a pragmatic approach to business operations, you communicate easily at all levels. Commercially and operationally skilled, ideally you also appreciate the issues facing Queensland’s State Schools.

Leading people with empathy and understanding, able to unite teams, navigate differing personalities and lead change respectfully, you’re expert at enthusing a large volunteer cohort to work comfortably in small, purpose-driven teams.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to lead a highly influential, financially strong, statewide organisation at a pivotal moment, to shape the future of Queensland’s public education landscape. You will be amplifying the voice of nearly one million parents, and driving meaningful, statewide impact in a role with unmatched visibility and influence.
