Higgins is chairman of the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute, and holds non-executive directorships at APA Group and Sunrice."Russell has worked at very senior levels of both the government and private sectors," said Livingstone.
"He has a wealth of experience in the energy sector, an area of the economy confronting challenges similar to those facing the regulated telecommunications industry."
Livingstone also acknowledged the contribution of retiring board member Charles Macek.
"With hard work and great insight, Charles has helped guide the Board through eight years of enormous change at Telstra. His acknowledged authority in corporate governance has served the Board well on many important occasions," she said.
The appointments of Higgins and Vamos are effective from September 15, but are subject to endorsement at the company's AGM on November 4.
