Overview

Board members are encouraged to begin with a Foundation workshop which combines general skills for good governance with insight into health specific governance.

The Foundation workshop aims to:

• Clarify the roles and accountabilities of board members in providing effective governance of their agencies.
• Develop the capacity of individual board members to:
  • Understand the governance challenges that are inherant in the health system in which their agencies operate
  • Understand how best to provide strategic direction
  • Understand how to achieve optimal performance and manage risk.
• Strengthen the capacity of boards to operate as high performing teams.
• Improve how boards work with their management team.
• Provide networking opportunities between boards.

Foundation workshops run over two days, generally a consecutive Friday and Saturday, with a dinner on the Friday night including a guest speaker from the Department of Human Services.
