Governance training for the public

About our training session

Experience Not-for-profit Law’s trusted governance training in a new format that anyone can sign up for.

This live, interactive session is designed for new and emerging board members, people in smaller organisations, or anyone looking for a solid governance refresher.

Delivered by our experienced lawyers who understand the not-for-profit sector inside and out, you’ll move beyond theory to see how key legal duties of board members apply in real-life scenarios. We strip away the jargon to give you a clear understanding of what the law expects, what governance looks like in practice, and next steps.

At just $249 per person, it’s a high-value investment in your role and your organisation’s governance capability. Walk away with a practical, legally grounded foundation for board work, and greater confidence in your responsibilities as a board member.

Across this 2.5‑hour session, you’ll learn about: 

• The role of board members and key governance concepts
• Understanding the legal structure and status of an organisation
• The importance of rules, and an organisation's legal purpose or object
• Core legal duties and responsibilities
• Where to go for further help and tailored support
