The Australian Government has begun the search for Board members for the new High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA), formed to guide the development of the high-speed rail network in the country.
There will be a merit-based process to select the members, including the Chair, to ensure the Board is comprised of people who have the appropriate skills, qualifications, knowledge and experience to best bring high speed rail to reality.
Experts from the rail and infrastructure sectors, as well as planning and financing, are encouraged to apply.
The HSRA will be an independent body tasked with advising on, planning, developing and overseeing the construction and operation of a transformational network along Australia’s eastern seaboard.
A high-speed rail network will allow passengers to travel between major cities and regional cities at speeds exceeding 250 kilometres per hour.
The merit-based process will identify suitable candidates for appointment by the minister. Applicants will be assessed by an Australian Government selection panel against specific criteria.

Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government minister Catherine King said the high speed rail network would not only revolutionise travel along the east coast, but had the potential to touch the lives of all Australians as the project continues to advance.
“The roles we are recruiting for will play a pivotal role in the future of high-speed rail in Australia,” she said.
“I am confident we will assemble a Board that can deliver on the Government’s vision for this transformational project. I look forward to working with the successful candidates.”
