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.
