The Chair of Council, the Director, the Assistant Director and Branch Head, Corporate Services, and the Chief Finance Officer will also attend the Committee meetings. Invited members for the Audit and Risk Sub-committee will comprise representatives from the Australian National Audit Office and the Australian War Memorial Internal Audit Team.

Members will be appointed by Council for an initial term of three years. An extension of the term will be subject to a review of each member's performance and contribution to the Committee. The Committee will elect a Chair from among its members. The Chair should be elected for a minimum period of one year and should preferably have served as a member of the Committee before becoming Chair. An alternative Chair will be appointed at any meeting where the Chair is unable to attend.

Members of the Committee are expected to understand and observe the legal requirements of the Australian War Memorial Act 1980 and other relevant legislative instruments. Members are also expected to:

  • act in the interests of the Memorial;
  • apply good analytical skills, objectivity, and good judgement; and
  • express opinions constructively and openly, raise issues that relate to the Committee's responsibilities, and pursue independent lines of enquiry.

Skills, experience, and qualities of Committee members

To be fully effective in supporting Council, the Committee must: be independent of management; understand the accountability relationships and their impact on financial performance, risk, and controls; and maintain a good relationship with management and internal and external auditors.

Members must have an understanding of the business of the Memorial and the ability to ask relevant questions of management and internal and external auditors. Members should have sufficient understanding of the Memorial's financial reports and audit requirements as well as some broad business and/or financial management experience. At least one member of the Committee should have accounting or related financial management experience and/or qualifications and an understanding of accounting and auditing standards. If necessary, the Committee will seek external financial advice.

Minutes of the Committee's meetings will be provided to Council for each quarterly meeting, based on the agenda of the Committee meeting and its principal responsibilities. Copies of the minutes will be available, as necessary, to ANAO or its subcontractor as part of the annual audit process. A summary report of matters dealt with will be issued to Council by the Committee after each meeting.

The Committee will review the performance of internal audit with Memorial management annually, and formally evaluate its own performance against its charter, with input sought from management, the Director, Council, and internal and external auditors.

Conflicts of interest

Once each year, members of the Committee will provide written declarations declaring any potential or actual conflicts of interest they may have in relation to their responsibilities.

At the beginning of each meeting of the Committee members are required to declare any potential or actual conflicts of interest that may apply to specific matters on the meeting agenda.

Details of potential or actual conflicts of interest declared by members and action taken will be appropriately minuted.

Induction

New members will receive relevant information and briefings on their appointment to assist them to meet their Committee responsibilities.

The review will be conducted on a self-assessment basis, with appropriate input sought from Council members, Committee members, senior management, internal and external auditors, and other relevant stakeholders as determined by the Chairman of Council.

The Chair of the Committee will provide advice to Council on a member's performance where an extension of the member's tenure is being considered.

Dr Brendan Nelson

Dr Brendan Nelson commenced as Director of the Australian War Memorial on 17 December 2012. Before this he was the Australian Ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, the European Union, and NATO (2009—12). Apart from overseeing a major transformation in Australia's relationships with the European Union and NATO, Dr Nelson forged deep links with the communities of Flanders, where almost 13,000 Australians lost their lives during the First World War.

Dr Nelson studied at Flinders University, South Australia, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery. He worked as a medical practitioner in Hobart from 1985 to 1995. In 1993 he was elected unopposed as National President of the Australian Medical Association.

In 1996 Dr Nelson was elected to the Commonwealth Parliament of Australia. After the 2001 election he was promoted from his role as Parliamentary Secretary for Defence to the senior portfolio of Minister for Education, Science and Training, driving major reforms to universities and a focus on school standards and reporting. In 2006 he became Minister for Defence, during which time troops were deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, East Timor, and the Solomon Islands. He oversaw major new investments in Defence, including the decision to purchase 24 FA-18F Super Hornets, three air warfare destroyers, two Landing Helicopter Docks, two additional battalions for the Australian Army, and a multi-billion-dollar recruitment and retention package. In November 2007 Dr Nelson was elected leader of the Liberal Party of Australia, serving as Leader of the Opposition until September 2008. The following year he retired from federal politics before taking up his ambassadorial appointment.

APPENDIX 5

Key acquisitions and disposals

Acquisitions

Art

1. Imants Tillers and the Australian Tapestry Workshop, Avenue of remembrance, 2015 (tapestry). This large-scale tapestry is a commemorative response to the Centenary of Anzac, inspired by Keith Murdoch's "Gallipoli letter" and funded through a generous donation from the Geoff and Helen Handbury Foundation.

2. Rosie Ware, Torres Strait Light Infantry Battalion, 2015 (textile tryptych). Rosie Ware is a senior Torres Strait Islander artist based on Muralag (Thursday Island). This work reflects on the experience of the Second World War in the Torres Strait.

3. Collection of nine portraits of Australian servicemen by Hilda Rix Nicholas, completed during the First World War. This rare collection of work provides new insight into the Australian experience of the First World War. It was acquired directly from the artist's granddaughter with the support of the federal government's National Cultural Heritage Account.

4. Eric Thake, Self portrait in a broken shaving mirror, 1945 (drawing).

5. Arthur Streeton, Amiens Cathedral, 1918 (oil on canvas).

Military Heraldry and Technology

1. The memorial cenotaphs used on ceremonial occasions by Australian personnel at Camp Holland and Camp Baker in Afghanistan were received and, after a period of display outside the Memorial's main entrance, have now been positioned for longer term display in the grounds. As a result of curatorial assessments undertaken in the field, a container-load of significant material collected from Tarin Kowt in Uruzgan province, Afghanistan, was also received.

2. The medals of Sergeant Jack Whittle VC DCM and Private Horace William "Slim" Madden GC were donated during the year. Both of Whittle's awards were granted for extraordinary gallantry during the AIF's advance to the Hindenburg Line in early 1917, while Madden's posthumous George Cross for his humanity and stubborn resistance as a prisoner of war was the highest honour awarded to an Australian during the Korean War.

3. Other significant medal groups acquired include those of pioneer aviator Sir Patrick Gordon Taylor GC MC, First World War prisoner-of-war escapee Herbert Johnson MC, Indigenous serviceman Charlie Burns, who saw overseas service in both world wars, and Herman Bottcher, a German-American who lived in Australia for ten years before the Second World War and was highly decorated as a US soldier before being killed in 1944.

4. An important purchase for the technology collection was an ornately carved Mauser rifle captured in South Africa during the Boer War by Trooper William Bell of the 5th Victorian Mounted Rifles.

Photographs, Film and Sound

1. An aesthetically and historically significant donation of more than 300 photographs by Gervaise Purcell, a professional Second World War photographer and "camoufleur". Purcell was a member of the Australian Camouflage Unit whose job it was to advocate for and design camouflage appropriate to local conditions.

2. A donation by Richard Denison of his documentary film, Boys of the Dardanelles, and interviews of First World War veterans recorded at the Australian War Memorial and Government House in 1985. The interviews comprise three hours of pristine colour negative and original audio, and were shot at the inaugural opening of the Memorial's Gallipoli Gallery. This would have been among the last opportunities to document the lives of the 200 surviving Gallipoli veterans. The footage includes extended interviews with a number of these veterans, and 80 per cent of this footage has never been seen outside the editing studio.

3. Footage of HMAS Canberra (III) entering Sydney Harbour, including its commissioning ceremony, which features speeches from His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd) and the former Prime Minister, the Honourable Tony Abbott MP. The footage was provided by Andrew Dakin on behalf of Navy Imagery East, Garden Island.

4. A rare collection of 15 superb vintage panoramic photographs of Gallipoli taken in May—June 1915. Three of the photographs in this set are of the little-known airfield that was temporarily located at Cape Helles. They show a Maurice Farman biplane MF465, attached to No. 3 Squadron, Royal Naval Air Service, then based on the nearby island of Tenedos. These planes were used to take the aerial photographs of the Gallipoli peninsula.

5. Ten /sites/default/files by acclaimed photojournalist Ben Bohane, who was embedded with Guam Battalion and other units in Afghanistan from 2 October to 2 November 2013. These photographs represent Australian soldiers with indigenous backgrounds currently serving within the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and include Papua New Guineans, Solomon Islanders, Maoris, and Indigenous Australian soldiers. The /sites/default/files also show contemporary technology in dealing with IEDs (Improvised Explosion Devices) and modern-day camp life, large technology items, uniforms, and ammunition currently used by the ADF.

Research Centre

1. Vietnam Battle Intelligence Computer tapes used in Vietnam in the first ever computer database used by Australians in a combat theatre.

2. Maritime Headquarters signals from the First Gulf War (1990—91). These comprise 95 boxes of signals and other material covering the whole period of the war under Operation Damask.

3. An original, signed Second World War surrender document from Morotai Island, acquired in September 1945 by a soldier serving in the lithography unit that printed it.

4. The personal log from HMAS Sydney (I). The unidentified author tracks events on the ship from the time of its commissioning in June 1913 until Christmas Day 1915.  It includes a description of the Sydney—Emden battle as well as other activities during this period.

5. Seven letters written by General Sir Harry Chauvel dating from the Boer War and the First World War. These include a detailed and descriptive letter containing some passages included in Hill's biography of Chauvel.

6. The original diary of Able Seaman Harry Lambert of the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force, 1914. Lambert served with the Naval Brigade and participated in the initial landings and fighting in German New Guinea.

7. The 500-letter collection of Chief Warrant Officer Alexander Scott Cameron, compiled during his service in the Boer War and the First World War with the Royal Australian Naval Bridging Train.
