Current Board members

Policy and governance

Canberra Dance Theatre Incorporated (ABN 62 856 594 074) is an association incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act 1991 (ACT). Our governing document is the 2008 Constitution. We have policies on:

• Harassment and Bullying
• Privacy
• Volunteers
• Working with Vulnerable People

Admin Assistants

Want to help CDT, learn new skills, and earn free dance classes? Admin Assistants are the people who staff the office in the evenings and weekends for classes. CDT can’t afford 24-hour staff, so the administrative volunteers make all the difference and they are dancers themselves who love to be part of making CDT such a special place.

Please contact the CDT office to see which shifts are available. As a volunteer organisation – we love volunteers!

Life Members of Canberra Dance Theatre

Life membership of CDT has been awarded by the Board to individuals who have given exceptional service to CDT and our community over the years.
