ACHG Board Self Assessment Survey
The ACHG is providing an opportunity for organisations to undertake a board self assessment survey from February 2012. The survey is a useful tool for organisations in assessing the performance of their board and for identifying areas of the board in need of further development.By making a uniform survey available to the Victorian health sector, data can be collected to establish sector benchmarks. This survey is open to VHA member organisations as well as other public and private health and community services. Feedback about their own board performance can also be benchmarked against the sector. The benchmarked data will also provide invaluable information for sector development of boards. The survey is made available to organisations for a nominal fee to cover administration and analysis..
To register your interest in undertaking the survey, please visit this link
For any further information regarding the survey please contact Alison Brown, Consultant, Australian Centre for Healthcare Governance on 03 9094 7721.
