Illawarra Directors' Briefing

In an environment of heightened scrutiny, evolving regulation and rising community expectations, boards are facing increasing pressure to demonstrate ethical leadership, sound judgement and compliance with their legal duties.

This Directors’ Briefing will explore the ethical and legal obligations of the board, with a particular focus on recent and emerging policy and regulatory changes that directors need to understand. The session will unpack what these changes mean in practice, how they affect directors personally, and how boards can respond with confidence.

Directors will gain clarity on the protections available to directors acting in good faith, including the concept of the “legal person” and the circumstances in which liability may still arise. The discussion will also examine the practical legal and regulatory requirements boards must navigate today, moving beyond theory to the real‑world decisions directors are required to make in the boardroom.

Through practical insights and contemporary examples, this briefing will support directors to strengthen governance, ask the right questions of management, and ensure ethical considerations are embedded in decision‑making as regulatory expectations continue to evolve.
