QAIHC Sustainable Governance Program
QAIHC has led the way for all peak organisations in developing and delivering governance programs designed to strengthen and sustain best-practice governance principles for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations.
In 2009, QAIHC partnered with Effective Governance, a consultancy-firm specialising in corporate governance training, to develop the Sustainable Governance Program; a tailor-made governance program designed to support and strengthen QAIHC Member Organisations. The program ensures each organisation has leading governance practice processes in place, to assist individual Directors and Management by providing appropriate tools and processes to effectively carry out governance responsibilities.
Training comprises specifically designed modules focused on the following core elements:
- Foundation Training
- Strategic & Business Operational Planning;
- Financial & Risk Management; and
- CEO/Board Evaluation
The Sustainable Governance Program commenced in February 2010, with 10 of QAIHC’s 27 Member Organisations selected to participate in the program.
To date, 2 Member Organisations have completed the program, with remaining Members having completed a number of the program modules.
The program will contribute to each Member Organisation’s commitment towards the Regional Quality Accreditation Support Program lead by QAIHC, where leadership and governance form the basis for developing a successful and sustainable organisation.
