10Feb How is life in Australia, how easy or difficult it is to find work as a Corporate Secretary?
sandy asked:
A Company or Corporate Secretary may or may not sit on the board of directors but holds a high level position in a company. However, this profession is sometimes misunderstood for clerical secretaries. Is it difficult finding work as a Corporate Secretary in Australia?

Hey there from Melbourne (Australia)!
There is a bit of work around for Company Secretaries, however nearly all roles require dual qualifications of not just Company Secretarial but also either law or accounting. Myself, I am qualified in law plus have post graduate qualifications in Corporate Governance, the latter of which allows membership as a “Chartered Secretary” via the local branch of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries, known here as “Chartered Secretaries Australia”.
In short though, no it is not difficult finding work as a corporate/company secretary here in Australia, however nearly always the roles as advertised also require the person holding the office to perform either a legal or accounting role, and thus you would also need professional qualifications and ability to be admitted to practice in one of those professions too.
Good luck though.
Cheers
