Our People

Veritas House is governed by an annually elected skills-based Board of Directors drawn from its members which brings together a broad based representation of the communities it serves.

We are fortunate to have Board members skilled in accounting, law, human services, education, business, marketing, youth and mental health services.

The role of the Board of Directors is to focus on the strategic direction of the organisation and to work within a governance framework.

The Veritas House Boards focus on:

• Core legal requirements
• External reporting requirements
• Stated objectives in the Strategic and Business Plan
• Financial objectives
• Client objectives and satisfaction

The Boards carry out their governance role by ensuring the following processes:

• Roles and responsibilities of the Board and CEO are clearly defined
• Outcomes are identified
• Policies are developed and implemented
• Delegations are in place
• Performance monitoring systems are implemented
• Accountability mechanisms are undertaken

The Boards delegate the day-to-day management of Veritas House to the CEO, who reports to and is accountable to the Boards.
