The NRMA Director Elections
At the NRMA, six Directors (of a maximum nine in total) are elected by Ordinary Members. One Director is elected for each of the six regions. The elections are held on rotation, with three regions holding elections every two years. Eligible Ordinary Members are allocated to a region based on where they live and may cast their vote for a candidate in that region. With elected Directors holding office for four years, this means that Ordinary Members vote in the election for their region once every four years.
Although elected by the Ordinary Members residing in a region, each elected NRMA Director has a duty to act in good faith and in the best interests of NRMA and its Members as a whole.

It's this dedication that now drives the NRMA beyond the roadside, to grow the transport, tourism and rewards offering for Members. The NRMA is a public company limited by guarantee, owned by its Members, which means it reinvests its profits for the benefit of those Members.
For the financial year ended 30 June 2024 the NRMA had over 1.49 million calls for roadside assistance, a network of 85 electric vehicle fast chargers, operated Australia-wide 58 holiday parks and over 176 SIXT vehicle rental locations, had 456,000 guests who stayed 1.7 million nights at the parks, resorts and lodges, operated the Manly to Circular Quay commuter fast ferry service and tourism cruises on Sydney Harbour, Gordon River and through remote parts of Australia, and over 3,000 full time equivalent employees.

The candidate elected as Director of the NRMA for each region will be responsible, collectively with the other Board members, for providing strategic direction and oversight of the NRMA's diverse and complex operating businesses. As well as maintaining business performance, relevance to Members and keeping staff, Members, customers and the public safe, a Director of the NRMA needs to have the skills and experience to provide strategic direction and oversight for a significant public company.
