Boards & Governance Lunch Series


Presented by StewartBrown Chartered Accountants
Aged Care is regarded, rightfully, as one of the most regulated industries in Australia. However,  most aged care providers and their staff must comply with a variety of regulations, standards and internal policies that govern the conduct of their services. This lunch series will provide insight to what a good governance framework looks like and the level of compliance that is required and how providers and staff can ensure they are operating a compliant service.   

The series is directed to CEOs and Board Members so that they better understand their obligations under the law and to their stakeholders.
