Governance & Accountability

Our governance framework provides assurance to the Accounting Officer, The Executive Office’s Permanent Secretary and to the public.

The Board

The Commission is legally defined as a ‘Body Corporate’ which would normally be comprised of a Board of Directors. However, as a single appointment the Commissioner solely fulfils the role of the Board.

The Commissioner sets the strategic direction for the Commission and oversees the implementation of the Corporate Plan and Annual Business Plan.
