Handball Victoria Inc. (Handball VIC) is the peak administrative body for the sports of Indoor (Olympic) Handball and Beach Handball in Victoria.
Our primary functions are to promote and develop handball in Victoria, run junior and educational programs and administer indoor handball and beach handball leagues and competitions in the state.
Handball has been an Olympic sport since 1936, and has a significant presence in most other continents, and especially in Europe.
Beach Handball, being a fairly young sport, hasn't yet got full Olympic status, but is quickly gaining momentum around the world.
At the moment, both sports are small, niche sports in Australia, but they have infinite potential to grow and become as loved and recognised as they are in the rest of the world.
Both fast-paced, action-filled and dynamic spectator sports, they have all the ingredients that Australians love in sport.
As Treasurer of Handball VIC, your main role will be to provide sound financial management, governance and administrative support for the Association, in partnership with the Board.
You'll work closely with the Board and the President, to ensure the Association has effective processes and controls in place to maintain proper financial stewardship of funds under its care.
As Treasurer of Handball VIC, you'll be directly involved in ensuring the right foundations are set up for this wonderful sport to grow and flourish in Victoria, and help mark Australia on the international map of competitive Handball Nations, right in time for the Brisbane Olympics in 2032!
