The Australian Queer Archives (AQuA) has a vacancy on our finance subcommittee due to the retirement of one member. AQuA collects, preserves and celebrates material from the lives and experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex, queer, Brotherboy and Sistergirl (LGBTIQA+) Australians.

Established in 1978, we hold the pre-eminent research collection for LGBTIQA+ histories in Australia. We are a volunteer-run, non-profit, community-based incorporated association. We are located in Melbourne, Australia and are assisted by members and supporters around Australia and the world.

AQuA's management committee appoints the finance subcommittee to prepare AQuA’s financial statements and budgets, oversee the operations of the bookkeeper, and make financial policy recommendations to the committee. The finance subcommittee meets four to six times a year.

We are keen for our volunteers in key roles to represent all parts of the diverse LGBTIQA+ communities, and particularly welcome applicants from Indigenous and culturally diverse communities.

Accounting/finance qualifications are highly desired. Experience with investment portfolios, Xero, philanthropy/fundraising and community board membership would also be welcome.
