The Director of Governance and Legal is a Board-level appointed position responsible for providing governance oversight, legal risk identification, and high-level strategic advice to ensure Baseball SA operates within appropriate legislative and regulatory frameworks. 

This role supports the Board and the Chief Executive Officer by offering guidance on matters including governance compliance, constitution and by-law interpretation, contracts, policy development, disciplinary processes, facility agreements, and organisational risk management.

This is not an operational legal role and does not require the Director to represent Baseball SA in legal proceedings. The Director ensures the organisation maintains strong governance standards and, where matters require specialist legal intervention, supports the Board in engaging appropriate external legal resources.
