The Company Directors Course™ Online is a benchmark governance education program designed for practicing and aspiring directors seeking to enhance their directorship skills, board effectiveness, and strategic decision-making capabilities in the aged care sector.
This course is designed for new and experienced practicing directors from publicly listed, private, government, and not-for-profit organisations, particularly those in the aged care sector. Participants should have a commitment to pre-reading materials and active participation in facilitated discussions and case studies. No specific technical prerequisites are required beyond basic computer literacy for online participation.
The course covers five core modules: Governance and the Practice of Directorship (understanding duties, board functions and responsibilities); The Legal Environment (director responsibilities and legal impacts on decision-making); Risk and Strategy (board's role in risk culture and strategy development); Financial Literacy and Performance (financial understanding for directors and organisational performance); and Achieving Board Effectiveness (decision-making, board dynamics, and organisational culture). Additional complimentary access is provided to Interpreting Financial Statements and The Director Mindset eLearning courses.
The AICD is Australia's leading governance education provider with 50 years of benchmark excellence in director training. Facilitators bring extensive real-world director experience and knowledge. The course is specifically contextualised for aged care providers in partnership with Ageing Australia, ensuring relevance to the sector's unique governance challenges and regulatory environment.
Completion of this course positions directors to take on more strategic roles within their organisations, enhance board performance and organisational outcomes, and lead with greater confidence in governance matters. Successful assessment participants qualify for the Company Directors Course™ Award and may be eligible to use the GAICD post-nominal (for AICD members). This credential strengthens career prospects in board governance roles across aged care and other sectors.
