About us:
The CBA London Branch Remuneration Assurance Committee (RAC) has a minimum of three independent members (Non-Executive Directors) and assists the Group CBA Board and its People and Remuneration Committee (PRC) in discharging their responsibilities in relation to CBA London Branch’s remuneration governance.
Do work that matters:
As a member of the RAC, you will assist the Group PRC and the Board in discharging their responsibilities solely in relation to the London Branch on matters relating to:

- Approving London Branch MRT identification methodology and ensuring oversight of its implementation on an on-going basis; and
- Approving remuneration arrangements and outcomes of individuals who are MRTs of the London Branch and individuals with significant variable remuneration.
While independent, your regular focus will be on London Branch, in close collaboration with Group strategic priorities and practices through Group Secretariat in Sydney, Australia.
