Why this work needs backing

Governance training in Australia is expensive, and the informal networks that lead to board roles are closed to most people. Without support, the people with the most to offer keep getting locked out, and this is weakening the impact that Australian organisations can make.

Just Governance keeps its programs accessible and low cost. That's only possible with the backing of funders and partners who believe decision-making should include the people decisions affect most.

Our impact

Results from Discover Governance, our signature training program:

What funding makes possible

  • Scholarships, meaning money is never the reason someone misses out on governance training

  • More programs, more often, so we can meet demand and reach people outside the major cities.

  • Free, plain-English resources that open up governance knowledge to anyone, anywhere.

  • Mentoring and follow- through to support participants beyond the program and into their first roles.

Discover Governance is a high-impact model, ready to scale. What stands between here and an inclusive, future-ready governance pipeline is reach - more programs, more places, more support for participants taking their first step. That's what your backing makes possible.
