Good Practice Guide: Guide Home


Public entities are organisations established and owned by the government to undertake a range of administrative, service delivery and/or regulatory functions outside government Departments.	Someone considering a Board appointment should be well informed about the Board, its functions and the expected workload.	Different personnel and parts of Government perform different roles which contribute to the operations of the Board and the public entity. The Directors' Code of Conduct and Guidance Notes articulate how the Victorian public sector values apply to the Board members.


Board meetings are a fundamental governance process. Boards set the strategic direction within an agreed risk management framework.	Boards must comply with their statutory obligations under all the legislation which affects them.
