Call for Directors

Hort Innovation is seeking applications for two Non-Executive Director positions.

Hort Innovation has opened applications for two upcoming Director vacancies on the company’s Board, with the search process open until Friday 1, August 2025.   

If you are interested in applying, please refer to the Rimfire Resources website here to obtain the Director Applicant Information Pack and submit your application online.  

Why are we seeking applications? 

The Hort Innovation Constitution calls for two of its nine sitting Directors to retire from office at the company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2025. 

Both positions will be filled by candidates of choice, voted in by members at the Hort Innovation AGM in November. Retiring Directors are eligible to reapply for nomination/appointment.

How are we recruiting? 

Hort Innovation has engaged Rimfire Resources, an agribusiness search and recruitment company, to assist in sourcing candidates and managing the selection process. Advertisements have gone out in national print and online publications and a targeted search process is also underway.

What happens next? 

When the application period closes, applications will be provided to the Hort Innovation Director Nomination Committee. The Committee is made up of a representative from the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF); a levy payer representative chosen by DAFF; an independent eminent member; and the Deputy Chair of the Hort Innovation Board. 

The Director Nomination Committee will meet to determine a shortlist of candidates from the application pool, for interviewing during September 2025. 

The final Director candidates will be announced ahead of the November AGM.

Enquiries can be directed to Mick Hay or Katrina Conlon at Rimfire Resources on 1300 380 701. 

Your application must be submitted at  www.rimfireresources.com.au  by  Friday 1, August 2025.
