A Smarter Governance Pathway for NFPs
Whether you’re onboarding a new director, refreshing experienced board members, or building a more effective board culture — we have a fit-for-purpose solution to help.
Choose the support that fits your board's needs
New Director Onboarding
Who it's for:
Newly appointed board members
Key Features:Â
- Affordable and accessible
- Designed for first-time directors or early-stage directors
- Governance foundations and refresher.
- 1-on-1 coaching support for a fast, confident transition*
- Optional University accreditation pathway^
Â
A newly appointed director brings fresh perspective — but also uncertainty. Many step into their first boardroom without formal preparation or a clear understanding of their role. This onboarding stream gives them the foundation they need to contribute with confidence, ask the right questions, and engage meaningfully from day one. With tailored coaching support, they don’t just learn governance — they learn how to step into it effectively, in your unique board context.
Director
Development
Who it's for:
Existing directors needing a strategic refresh
Key Features:Â
- Ideal for experienced directors
- Governance Refresher program
- Tailored 1-on-1 coaching to target growth areas*
- Helps to expand strategic influence
- Optional University accreditation pathway^
Experienced directors don’t need to start over — but they do need to stay sharp. This stream helps them reflect, recalibrate, and grow their influence in a dynamic governance environment. Whether they’re looking to shift from operational thinking to strategic contribution, or wanting to lift their engagement with management, GOVERNEX gives them the framework — and coaching helps make it real, relevant and personal. It’s development with purpose, not just a refresher.
Board
Development
Who it's for:
The entire board
Key Features:Â
- Cohort based delivery of Governance refresher
- live or virtual facilitated group reflection workshops
- Optional individual coaching for directors
- Custom pricing to suit your board
Even high-functioning boards benefit from slowing down and learning together. This stream offers a shared language, structure and rhythm that helps boards move beyond compliance and into true governance maturity. By learning as a group — and reflecting along the way — directors align around purpose, process, and priorities. For boards with varied experience levels, this model lifts everyone and creates deeper trust and clarity in decision-making.

Because Good Governance Shouldn't Be Out Of Reach
NFPs are often told to “lift governance” — but are rarely given the tools, structure, or support to do it well. Boards are often under-resourced, time-poor, and filled with passionate people learning on the job. That’s where this pathway steps in.
This isn’t just another course. It’s a system designed specifically for the realities of Not-for-Profit governance — practical, affordable, and built for both individuals and whole boards to grow together.
Designed for Impact, Not Just Compliance
Focuses on strategic contribution, ethical leadership and real boardroom presence — not just ticking regulatory boxes.
Tailored to the NFP
Context
Built by and for people who understand how purpose-led boards actually operate — including the politics, pressures and volunteer dynamics.
Cohort, Coaching & Capability
in One
Combines structured learning (GOVERNEX), personalised support (coaching), and team development (facilitated reflection) in one cohesive journey.
Speaks the Language of Busy Boards
Modular, flexible, and immediately useful — with no jargon, fluff or wasted time.
Strengthens Culture, Not Just Knowledge
Creates shared understanding, deeper trust, and board alignment — the real drivers of high-performing NFP governance.
Finally, a pathway that makes sense
Director Education
GOVERNEX examines governance and director responsibilities through reflective, scenario based learning. Its not just theory. Nor does it focus on compliance.
It's practical, flexible, and designed to fit your schedule.
Professional Credentials
Through our partnership with a leading Australian University, graduates of GOVERNEX have the option to earn university-backed credentials that validate your real world leadership capability and governance mindset.^
