3.3 Board members

Members of Government Boards are required to familiarise themselves with the work of the Government Board, including their legal and statutory obligations. They must take reasonable steps to ensure that they are knowledgeable about the business of the Government Board and can make informed decisions. Individual Government Board members are responsible collectively for, and should support and adhere to, all Government Board decisions. Members however can exercise a dissenting view on particular decisions which should be appropriately minuted.
