Governance and Structure

Governance

The Australian Peacekeeper and Peacemaker Veterans’ Association (APPVA) is a company limited by guarantee with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). It is also registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission (ACNC). Therefore, for regulatory matters the APPVA is governed by:

· ASIC for anything relating to its corporate status, and
· the ACNC for anything relating to its charitable status.

The governance model has board of directors responsible for setting and monitoring the strategic direction of the APPVA, and a management committee accountable for operating the APPVA on a day to day basis.

The Board of Directors

The board is responsible for the overall governance, management and strategic direction of the organisation and for delivering accountable corporate performance in accordance with the organisation’s goals and objectives. The Board holds the Chief Executive Officer accountable.

The Management Committee

The Management Committee operates the APPVA on a daily basis and consists of an Executive Committee of four members that meet weekly at the minimum. The full Committee meets monthly. Some of the roles are dual hatted, as is the case with many not for profit organisations. The CEO heads the Management Committee and is also Vice Chairperson of the board.
