Wikimedia Australia is run by a committee appointed each year at the [[AGM]], according to our [[Rules]] which includes elections for contested positions.  The committee consists of four officer bearers and two ordinary members.

The board (formerly known as ''the'' ''committee'') comprises four office-bearers and four "ordinary" members.

Wikimedia Australia is run by a board that is elected each year at the Annual General Meeting.

The board (formerly known as the committee) comprises four office-bearers and four "ordinary" members.

The current board was elected on 6 August 2023 at the 2023 AGM. See the list of board members on the Governance page.

Board meeting minutes are recorded on the Committee wiki initially, and then after being accepted by a subsequent meeting are posted here to the public wiki (sometimes with redaction of personally identifiable information).

History of the board

Official observers of the committee are in italics. In June 2023 the board voted to rename themselves from their previous name the committee.
