Support the quiet foundations of a growing charity—bring your governance expertise to help programs that support people and horses healing together continue to grow safely and sustainably.

About Us Horse Aid delivers structured equine-assisted programs (similar to equine therapy) for serving and ex-serving Defence personnel and first responders living with service-related trauma.

Working with Thoroughbred ex-racehorses, our programs create a grounded, practical environment where both people and horses can rebuild confidence, connection and trust.

The Opportunity We are seeking an experienced Corporate Secretary to support our Board and governance framework as we grow.

This is a steady, trusted role—helping ensure the organisation is well-run, compliant and positioned to continue expanding its impact.

Your contribution will sit quietly in the background, but it will be essential.

What You’ll Be Doing

Supporting Board meetings (agendas, papers, minutes) Maintaining governance and compliance frameworks (such as with ASIC and ACNC) Advising on best practice governance Keeping key records and documentation up to date Supporting clear and well-structured decision-making

The Impact You’ll Have Strong governance enables everything else. Your work will help ensure Horse Aid remains a safe, trusted organisation—able to support more participants and more horses over time.

Connection to Programs (Optional) For those located within reach of Helensburgh, NSW, there may be opportunities to visit or observe program delivery.

This can provide helpful context and a deeper understanding of the impact your governance work supports, though it is entirely optional.

Helpful (but not essential): Experience in the not-for-profit sector Interest in Defence, veterans or first responders Interest in horses, the racing industry, or animal welfare Previous involvement in volunteer or community organisations Time Commitment
