Resources for directors
The board has a crucial role to play guiding an organisation and setting the tone from the top – and Governance Institute of Australia is here to help guide you throughout your board career.
We offer a range of resources, events, courses and certificates designed specifically for board directors – both aspiring and established.
These include Governance Institute’s flagship course, the Effective Director Course.

Effective Director Course
Designed for aspiring and newly appointed directors, executives reporting into boards, and directors wanting to refine their skills, our flagship course examines effective board practises and executive engagement, acquiring information and decision making, boardroom dynamics, and the key elements of high performing directors and boards.
The course is delivered virtually through zoom or face-to-face across the country, you can complete over 3-days or over 6 weeks. Choose the course delivery which suits your requirements.
Keep an eye out for our women’s exclusive offering of the Effective Director Course, designed to amplify senior leadership roles for women and encourage a new generation of female directors.
