Clinical Governance in the Boardroom

As the new Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards (2025) come into force, Clinical Governance is an increased focus for boards — understanding and governing it is a core accountability.

This blended course gives directors the skills, tools, and confidence to govern clinical care without needing a clinical background.

Duration: 2hr eLearning + 2hr Zoom session

Recommended for: Board Members (new or experienced), CEOs and GMs

Presenter: Preventing Harm Initiative

Course outcomes: 

• Understand the Board’s role in Clinical Governance, distinguish between governance and operational responsibilities

• Learn how to apply the ‘three tests’ for Clinical Governance by using a structured method to decide whether a clinical issue belongs at board level and test for scope impact, systemic risk and/or regulatory or reputational exposure

• Understand how to interrogate reports and spot governance blind spots, identify misleading information, understand what a board level clinical dashboard should include and how to ask meaningful questions that prompt insight 

• Strengthen your board's visibility, challenge, and oversight by knowing how to apply tools to real world decisions with clear escalation pathways and clarity of service scope changes

• Build confidence and clarity in boardroom decision-making to govern confidently
