Job description ABOUT OUR ORGANISATION
Established in 1975 as the ACT's first women's refuge, Beryl Women Inc. is a specialist domestic and family violence service providing crisis and transitional accommodation, trauma-informed case management, and outreach support to women and their children escaping violence.

ABOUT THE ROLE
The Treasurer works collaboratively with the CEO, Finance Officer, Finance & Audit Committee members, and the Board. The role focuses on financial oversight, governance, and operational guidance and strategic decision making rather than day-to-day financial management.

* Supporting oversight of financial systems, internal controls, and financial management policies.
* Monitoring compliance with relevant legislation, Australian Accounting Standards, ACNC governance standards, and funding body requirements.
* Contributing to oversight of cashflow, expenditure, grant allocations, and overall financial sustainability.
ABOUT YOU
We are seeking a values-driven Treasurer to join the Board of a long-standing feminist domestic and family violence service committed to the safety, dignity and self-determination of women and children.
For over five decades, our service has stood alongside women and children escaping violence. Grounded in feminist practice, trauma-informed care and cultural safety, we provide crisis accommodation, outreach, therapeutic support for children and young people, and advocacy to address the systemic drivers of violence.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
* The opportunity to use your professional skills for tangible social change
* A meaningful governance role in a respected feminist organisation
* Connection with a passionate Board and leadership team
* Insight into the social, economic and policy drivers of domestic and family violence
* The chance to contribute to intergenerational impact for women and children
