Indigenous leader Warren Mundine has been appointed to the SBS Board for a term of five years.
The former Indigenous Advisory Council chairman will join the nine-person board as a part-time non-executive director.
Minister for Communications Paul Fletcher said, “Mr Mundine is a distinguished Australian. He will be a valuable addition to the SBS Board, bringing over 40 years of experience in roles across government, business and the community sector.”
The Government said it welcomed the experience he will bring to the SBS Board, including his distinguished service to the community as a leader in Aboriginal affairs and an advocate for enhancing both economic and social outcomes for Aboriginal people.
His appointment fills a vacancy created with the retirement of Dr Bulent Hass Dellal in June.
Mr Mundine is a member of the Bundjalung, Gumbaynggirr and Yuin people of NSW. He is Chairman of the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation and has served as Chairman and Director of the NASIDA Dance College and Foundation. He also co-hosted Mundine Means Business on SKY News, focusing on successful Indigenous Australians in business.
