Board Governance Program
Our Board Governance Program is designed to improve the collective capabilities of your board. Founded on evaluation, the principles of good governance and the responsibilities of governing bodies within the environment in which they are operating, you can design your program to meet the specific needs of your board.
“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.” – Bronwyn Pike
Director Development Program
Our Director Development Program helps you to build the individual capabilities of your directors whilst providing insight into the collective skills of your board. The program supports both new and experienced director development, and aids succession planning and induction for the enhanced director onboarding.
Peer Review
Our Peer Review solution helps you to better understand the individual capabilities of your governing body through a highly confidential process that seeks to inform individual development plans.
Sub-Committees Review
Our Sub-Committees Review solution provides an indepth analysis of the effectiveness and efficiency of your sub-committees and looks to identify any gaps in your sub-committees role for informing good decision making by the governing body.
Independent Convening
Our Independent Convening solutions add rigour to your program through their facilitation skills, extensive knowledge of best practice evaluation processes, and their governance and sector expertise.

- found the new directors are orientated and more strategi
- streamlined and made more efficient our board meetings, processed and committees.”
– John Maher (former Chair), South West Healthcare
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.”
– Nicola Melville (Chair), Albury Wodonga Health Service
