About us
Our mission
Just Governance exists to expand who takes part in decision-making in society.
We work with young women, gender-diverse people and those with lived experience to open up pathways into governance, combining practical training with systems-wide advocacy to create more inclusive and just governance in Australia.
Our story
Just Governance was founded in 2025 in response to a clear gap in governance: many decisions are made without the voices of younger people or those with lived experience of the issues organisations are dealing with.
​
We also observed a lack of accessible pathways into governance, leaving capable people excluded from leadership.
​
We have respond to this gap and are working to reshape who is on boards.
What We Do
Informed by ongoing conversations with young women, gender-diverse people, and those with lived experience, we create accessible pathways into governance — equipping participants with the skills and support to apply for decision-making roles.
We also work with boards and organisations to open up recruitment practices and embed inclusion at the centre of decision-making.
Who we are
Just Governance is a social enterprise dedicated to embedding inclusive governance across community, not-for-profit, and social enterprises in Australia.
Founded by Dr Kath Hall, an internationally recognised governance expert, we work with aspiring leaders and for-purpose organisations to build boards that reflect the communities they serve.
​
In March 2026 we appointed our board.
