Our governance
Governance structure
Environment Victoria is governed according to its Rules of Incorporated Association and the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 (Victoria). Under the Rules of Association, the members elect a Board to:
provide strategic and financial direction to the organisation and ensure that its activities are working towards achieving these
- ensure the organisation is financially viable in the immediate term (i.e. is solvent), and can continue to fulfill its aims through medium to long term financial l health
- appoint and manage the performance of the Chief Executive Officer
- implement and monitor appropriate policies and procedures
- ensure that organisational risks are proactively identified and appropriately mitigated and/or managed.
To meet these governance requirements, board membership is diverse and includes all key competencies required, including: environmental policy and strategy, finance, legal, fundraising, organisational strategy, audit, risk, community or stakeholder engagement.
The Board operates three committees to assist in governing the organisation:
- Finance, Audit and Risk Committee
- Fundraising and Marketing Committee
- Governance Committee
The Board delegates all management responsibilities to the Chief Executive Officer, who has wide management authority, which is limited and guided by the organisations policies, the Board and sub-committees of the Board.
