    Current

    The new search platform and Resource Library is an essential tool for executive leaders and board directors that brings together thousands of articles, webinars, reports, policy submissions, magazine content and podcasts in one central location. 


    Whether you're preparing for a board meeting, dealing with an emerging issue or planning your professional development, it will help you find trusted governance information in seconds. 

    The intuitive governance hub has been designed and built with the challenges facing today’s directors in mind. 

    Content is organised around specific governance topics that include: 

    • Cyber security  

    • Artificial intelligence  

    • Board evaluations  

    • Director liability  

    • Risk management  

    • Economics 

    • Climate reporting  

    • Succession planning 

    You’ll also be able to search for resources directly relevant to your career stage, from looking for your first board position and building your portfolio to becoming a leading director and board chair. 

    The easy-to-use drop-down menus also include options for private company, ASX listed, small businesses, public sector and not-for-profit organisations. 

    The AICD Resource Library will be updated every week to ensure our members are right at the forefront of the biggest governance talking points and latest legislation. 

    Smarter search that speaks your language 

    Finding the specific guidance you need is now faster and more targeted, with the experience built around the language directors use when dealing with governance issues. 

    Our brand-new search engine understands directorship acronyms, keywords and everyday phrasing such as AI, NFP and ESG and the clear, on-screen filters allow you to narrow results until you’re served up exactly what you’re looking for. 

    By reflecting the common questions directors bring to the boardroom, the Resource Library creates a more connected experience that works seamlessly across mobile phones, tablets and laptops. 

    Clearer pathways for webinars and events 

    Staying up to date through professional development is simpler, too. Webinars have been restructured into distinct "Live" and "Recorded" tabs, making it effortless to see upcoming broadcasts in calendar order or dive into an on-demand archive of past panel discussions and legal briefings.

    The national events calendar has also been streamlined, enabling directors to explore flagship conferences, state division gatherings and online briefings with convenient location and topic filters.

     

    Tips for using the new search experience 

    • Combine keyword search with filters: Start with a specific phrase, such as cyber governance, then apply filters to narrow results by sector or content type – for example, choosing the NFP sector filter or filtering AI results for webinar content.
    • Share tailored links with colleagues: Any search you run or filter you apply updates your browser web address automatically. You can copy this link straight into board packs or emails so fellow board members land on the exact same set of resources.

    • Filter for member-inclusive learning: In the webinars directory, switch to the Recorded tab and select the Complimentary for Members filter to access on-demand professional development.

    • Browse topic hubs: Visit dedicated topic pages such as Governance Essentials or Board Composition to find curated collections of core principles, articles and checklists in one place.

    The Resource Library is not just a content archive. It's designed to help directors build capability, solve governance challenges and continue developing throughout their careers. Try it out today.
