DIRECTORS WHO CAN TAKE PART
Knowledge that supports
independent judgment.
The aim is to help directors understand their role, ask informed questions and participate in the work of the board.
The board wants a shared understanding
Directors would benefit from discussing their roles, access to information and oversight responsibilities together.
You have identified a learning need
Your organisation wants to explore training around a specific governance topic or a practical difficulty at the board table.
PROPOSED TRAINING FOCUS
Connect the framework
with everyday decisions.
For corporations registered under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006, the CATSI Act and the corporation’s rule book are central reference points. ORIC is the regulator.
DUTIES
What directors are responsible for
Discuss directors’ duties and what they mean for participation, conduct and decisions.

THE SAVU ESQ APPROACH
Grounded in
regional experience.
Tui’s work in regional Australia has shaped his interest in helping directors participate with understanding.
Experience in Broome and Alice Springs prompted a focus on boards where access to information and confidence in the legal framework can affect participation.
The programme is being developed. Your enquiry helps establish the audience, topics, format and whether the proposed training could meet your needs.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Before you
get in touch.
Can we book a course now?
We welcome programme enquiries. Training is being developed, so content, availability and delivery arrangements need to be discussed before a booking is agreed.
Is this an accredited qualification?
The current proposal is practical governance training. It is not advertised as an accredited qualification or a programme that issues a recognised statement of attainment.
Will training make our corporation compliant?
Training can support understanding, but compliance depends on the corporation’s conduct and applicable obligations. A particular legal or compliance issue may need separate advice.
Can the programme reflect our rule book?
Share the framework and topics you want covered. We can discuss whether and how your corporation’s governing documents could inform the proposed content.
Can you deliver in regional or remote Australia?
In-person and online delivery can be discussed. Timing, location and any travel costs form part of the arrangements agreed before work begins.
