Dear AHRI TAS members, 

Welcome to the latest update from AHRI TAS State Council.

Introducing your new AHRI TAS Council representatives

Thank you to all who participated in the AHRI State Council nominations and election earlier this year. Your enthusiasm and active involvement continue to make a meaningful difference to the work of our State Council.

With new Council members stepping into their roles from 1 July, I am pleased to introduce your new Council representative Lisel Allen CPHR. While Lisel was co-opted to the State Council in 2025, I’m delighted to now formally welcome her as an elected member.

We currently have a few vacancies on our State Council. If you’d like to get involved, you can read more about the AHRI State Council Member role, and register your interest here.
