Nicola Melville
Chairperson Albury Wodonga Health Service
“Albury Wodonga Health Service contracted the Governance Evaluator for a three-year period to complete our external board evaluation, assess individual board member skills and capabilities, and provide access to resources for individual director development. 18 months into the process we now have a clear view of AWH governance and, most importantly, a peer comparator report which identifies the areas where we need to focus our attention, whilst giving us a benchmark to monitor our progress. I consider the investment in the Governance Evaluator as highly worthwhile and a seamless supported way of both evaluating our current board skills and processes, but also a clear way forward to improve these.”
Bronwyn Pike
Chair, Western Health
“We’ve evaluated for the last 4 years, it’s a foundational part of our annual board calendar for supporting a strong culture for quality and safety.”

Greg Pullen
FCPA, FAICD, Former CEO, Northern Health and Villa Maria Catholic Homes
In a sector where clinical governance now assumes as much, if not more, importance than financial governance, aged‑care boards need to be confident that the necessary checks and balances are constantly in place. The Governance Evaluator system is perfectly tailored to provide boards and individual directors with this assurance. I recommend its adoption.

We were pleased to engage Jodie Wilmer from Conscious Governance to assist us with our triennial external board review. The Governance Evaluator survey of board members and key stakeholders, the one‑on-one interviews and the report provided us with valuable feedback. We appreciated Jodie’s insights from her extensive work with boards in a variety of industries and sectors. She facilitated a workshop with our board on her findings and assisted us to develop an action plan which enhanced our effectiveness and ensured we continue to meet APRA’s requirements.

Kylie Warne and Bernadette Uzelac
Former President and CEO, Geelong Chamber of Commerce
Governance Evaluator was the perfect time efficient, easy to use, quality and cost-effective program to engage in for evaluation and capability building for our annual journey for being an effective board. We chose to have the program externally led which led to very clear KPIs for the board to address. We were also delighted with the comprehensive support and education resources which we have used a lot. We were happy to re-register and would strongly recommend this program.
