About us

Tennis West is Western Australia’s governing body for tennis, and manages all aspects of the sport, from elite player development, to growing participation within the affiliated club network and community.

Tennis West is headquartered at the State Tennis Centre on the Burswood Peninsula, with affiliated bodies located as far north as Kununurra, south as Albany and as far inland as Kalgoorlie.

The chance

Tennis West is now calling for nominations for two elected Director positions on the Tennis West Board, with each position carrying a three-year term, in accordance with our constitution and normal AGM cycle. We encourage clubs and associations to share this opportunity with suitably qualified members who may be interested in contributing to the future of tennis in Western Australia.

As a skills-based Board, Tennis West is particularly seeking candidates with experience in one or more of the following priority areas:

- Financial expertise
- Community sport knowledge and experience
- High-performance sport experience

Nomination process

(Please note candidates must follow the process outlined below)

We support candidate nominations from both regional and metropolitan Western Australia. We welcome people from all backgrounds to our Board, particularly First Nations people, those from culturally and racially diverse backgrounds and those living with a disability.



We also aim to uphold CITS’s gender equity standard for State Sporting Association Board positions.

All nominations must be submitted through the online Vero platform and include:

- Two supporting seconders from current 2026/27 affiliated tennis clubs
- A cover letter and resume
- A candidate statement
- Skills and experience information
- Required declarations and supporting documentation

All nominations will be assessed by the majority independent Nominations Committee against the Board’s skills and capability requirements. Suitable candidates will be shortlisted and interviewed before the election process proceeds.

The attached nomination pack contains the full Director Role Description, eligibility requirements, Board expectations, and nomination terms and conditions. We encourage all prospective candidates to read this document carefully before applying. Additionally, interested candidates can join an online information session on Tuesday 8 September at 7:00pm.
