The Company Directors Course™ Online is a comprehensive governance program designed for practicing and aspiring directors seeking to enhance their boardroom effectiveness. Through interactive learning, case studies, and strategic simulations, participants develop critical skills in risk management, financial literacy, and board dynamics to drive organisational performance in aged care and other sectors.
This course is designed for new and experienced practicing directors from publicly listed, private, government, and not-for-profit organisations. Participants should have a commitment to governance excellence and the ability to engage in pre-reading and interactive virtual sessions. No specific technical prerequisites are required beyond basic computer literacy and reliable internet access for virtual classroom participation. The course is exclusive to Ageing Australia members for this intake.
The course covers five core modules delivered over five Fridays: Governance and the Practice of Directorship (understanding director duties, board functions, and responsibilities); The Legal Environment (analysing director responsibilities and legal impacts on decision-making); Risk and Strategy (examining board roles in risk culture and strategy development); Financial Literacy and Performance (focusing on financial understanding and organisational performance drivers); and Achieving Board Effectiveness (investigating decision-making, board dynamics, and organisational culture). Participants also complete pre-reading materials and have access to complimentary eLearning courses on Interpreting Financial Statements and The Director Mindset.
The AICD is Australia's leading governance authority with 50 years of benchmark excellence in director education. AICD facilitators bring extensive real-world director experience and knowledge. The partnership with Ageing Australia ensures aged care contextualisation, making the course directly relevant to governance challenges in residential aged care, home and community care, and retirement living sectors. This collaboration provides members with substantially reduced rates compared to standard AICD pricing, plus complimentary 12-month AICD membership valued at $750.
Completion of this course positions directors to lead high-performing boards that contribute significantly to social equity and economic prosperity. Graduates develop enhanced capability to drive strategic discussions, evaluate risks effectively, improve financial literacy, and make sound governance decisions. The skills acquired support career advancement in board leadership roles across aged care, not-for-profit, government, and private sector organisations. Successful assessment completion qualifies participants for the Company Directors Course™ Award and GAICD post-nominal recognition, enhancing professional credibility and board appointment prospects.
