Public entities and Departments are to be supported when recruiting and inducting new Board Directors, with the Victorian Public Sector Commission (VPSC) publishing a new range of resources.
Launching the entity Board resources, the Commission said they provided a consolidated and comprehensive suite of integrity and governance resources for both new and established public Board Directors.
“The resources have been developed to support Boards, Chairs and Directors of Victorian public entities to comply with the Code of Conduct for Directors of Victorian Public Entities and the Public Administration Act 2004,” the VPSC said.
“Ensuring these obligations are met is essential to maintaining integrity in the public sector and public trust in Government,” it said.
“Public entities and Departments can also draw on these resources when recruiting and inducting new Board Directors, to ensure they are aware of their key obligations.”
The VPSC said the resources also provided public entity boards with practical advice to help strengthen governance processes, focusing on integrity, governance, financial management, compliance and risk, and recruiting and overseeing the CEO.
