We are dedicated to making a difference to the quality of directorship and seek to promote excellence in governance. As such, we are committed to ensuring that we lead by example in how our organisation is governed.
We are a national organisation with eight state and territory divisions. Our national board, which consists of up to 13 directors, is our governing body, and is comprised of national directors, eight division directors, and our CEO, who may be appointed as a director to the board.
Every year, we run several hundred programs and courses that convey to participants the theory of corporate governance and how to apply it in practice. The theme of effective governance – whether it is the systems, processes or relationships that define the practice – also underpins the information resources we provide and many of the events that we conduct around the country.
Proposed AICD Constitution Amendments – AICD Director Remuneration
In May and June 2025, the AICD consulted with members on prospective constitutional amendments to allow remuneration of AICD directors. A Consultation Response Paper has been prepared outlining the consultation process, summary of member feedback, and responses to general queries from members. The paper is available here. Find out more.
2024 Annual General Meeting
The AICD held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Thursday 28 November 2024 at 5.30pm Sydney time (AEDT).
The AGM was held as a hybrid meeting at the Hyatt Regency Sydney and online through a platform provided by Link Market Services.
Further information on the 2024 AGM, including a webcast of the meeting, can be accessed here.
Our board
The governing body of our organisation, the Board, provides oversight within the framework of relevant legislation (including the Corporations Act), our Constitution and Board Charter.
The responsibilities of the Board include setting and reviewing our strategic direction, monitoring organisational performance, the appointment of the CEO and deciding on key policy positions to take on behalf of directors.
The Board currently consists of 13 directors, including 4 National Directors, one of whom is the chair, 8 Division Directors and the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. The procedure for the appointment of directors can be found in our Constitution.
The AICD maintains a Board Skills Matrix that sets out the mix of skills and experience of each director, which is reviewed annually. The Board Skills Matrix is found here.
