In-house education for the Not-for-Profit sector

With clear purpose and strong governance, NFP directors can help deliver on their organisation’s promise to serve their community.

Doing good starts with leading well

To succeed, your organisation doesn’t just need passion, it needs clear governance. Our in-house governance education programs help mission-driven directors strengthen their oversight capability, increase accountability, and stay true to their cause. 

Whether you're navigating ACNC obligations, shaping organisational culture or planning for long-term sustainability, we’ll give your board the skills to lead with confidence, courage and care.

Compliance with confidence

Get clear on what’s required. Stay ahead of ACNC, duty of care, and regulatory obligations without drowning in legal jargon.

Corporate culture that connects

Champion ethical leadership that reflects your community, values and purpose. Build a board culture that leads with both heart and discipline.

Capability that lasts

Board turnover is high. Budgets are tight. We equip new and existing directors with practical skills that sustain your board—and your mission— for the long haul.
