There are four ‘Two Year positions’ and two ‘One Year position’ up for election this year. Nominations closed at 7pm, Monday 27th November 2023.
We are introducing two process changes at the AGM this year to increase access and transparency, and assist shareholders in delivering their voting responsibilities.
For the nominee:
Skills matrix
To assist you in defining and communicating your potential contributions to the PBS Board, we recommend you review the Board Skills Matrix. The matrix is self-reported and currently completed based on existing board membership but will give you a guide on where skills gaps are, or may be, depending on the composition of the Board post-election.
Please note that this Matrix may also assist you in completing your nomination form, and your speech at the AGM.
Option to pre-record your nomination speech
Nominees now have an option as to whether they to speak to their nomination as per previous AGMs, or whether they submit a pre-recorded video of their speech. Whilst in-person attendance is always preferable, providing an alternative assists those who cannot attend and/or are unable to address shareholders at the AGM.
The fine print:
- Pre-recorded videos are to be presented in the same way you would an in-person speech (No backing tracks, beauty filters or pyrotechnics..).
- All speeches are to be a maximum of two minutes. We suggest you address your background, experience at PBS, and why you would be a good board member for PBS.
- Pre-recorded video speeches must be submitted at the same time as your nomination form, through the same channel.
- If you do need to pre-record a video speech but need assistance, PBS will provide equitable access to any nominee who requires it – please contact PBS General Manager, Kristen Patterson for more information.

Skills matrix
We have introduced a skills matrix to give shareholders more information on current board strengths and identify potential weaknesses based on which combination of nominees are elected. The matrix is deigned based on our current strategic plan,self-reported and currently completed based on existing board membership.
Option for nominees to pre-record nomination speeches
Nominees now have an option as to whether they to speak to their nomination as per previous AGMs, or whether they submit a pre-recorded video of their speech. Whilst in-person attendance is always preferable, providing an alternative assists those who cannot attend and/or are unable to address shareholders at the AGM. The fine print has been made available with nomination papers and designed with the intent of increasing access and participation in the board process.
