Frequently asked questions

Everyone knows that the directors of non-profit organisations need to stay up-to-date and undertake regular professional development and training. So why don't they do it? Often training is expensive, takes up valuable time and isn't in a convenient location. Better Boards developed BoardWise to solve these issues and more. We came up with BoardWise when we noticed these issues while running professional development events for not-for-profit directors. Our aim for BoardWise is to make ongoing professional development for not-for-profit and for-purpose directors: Cost-Effective Accessible Convenient Focused on the entire Board (not just single directors) and finally...Enjoyable

The bulk of content inside BoardWise was created with Australian boards in mind. All content is presented in English. However, much of the material, particularly as it relates to board dynamics, leadership and good governance practices is applicable to boards from any country. We have a small number of BoardWise members from New Zealand, the United States of America and the United Kingdom.

There are a wide range of topics covered in BoardWise. The core focus is on not-for-profit boards and their governance and leadership requirements. Click here to request an information pack, this pack includes a list of the current topics inside BoardWise.
-
Yes. Quite a number of organisations who are BoardWise members have found it beneficial to sign both their chief executive officer and executive teams up to BoardWise as well. This allows the executive to have a much clearer understanding of the board's role and why boards think and operate in particular ways.

CPD in BoardWise is not linked to a specific professional body or association (this may change in the future). However, you can still claim the CPD time you log on BoardWise with many professional bodies and associations.The requirements of each professional body and association for claiming CPD completed with external providers are unique. It is recommended you contact your chosen professional body or association to check their requirements. Below you will find a brief overview of various professional bodies' positions on whether they accept CPD claims for materials completed through external providers (such as BoardWise). This information was obtained from the respective organisation's public website. Again it is recommended you contact your chosen professional body or association to check their requirements. This information was last updated on 15 June 2017. Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) AICD allows you to claim CPD (or what they have termed DPD) from external providers. Visit http://www.companydirectors.com.au/Membership/Director-Professional-Development/DPD-units-for-other-provider-activities for further information. Governance Institute of Australia The Governance Institute states on its website that the "Governance Institute considers ‘valid CPD’ as contributing to and/or relevant to your current role and responsibilities (and/or future career progression) as a governance and risk management professional." Our interpretation of this is that since BoardWise materials are aimed at doing this then it should in theory be possible to claim CPD from BoardWise with the Governance Institute. However, it is recommended you contact the Governance Institute to confirm this. CPA Australia CPA Australia's website states "Any activity that increases your knowledge, skills and ability to do your job can be included in your CPD records." Our interpretation of CPA Australia's website and public statements is that the activities you would undertake in BoardWise are activity that increases your knowledge, skills and ability to do your job and as such would be logged under "Self-study including self-paced learning packages, professional development online, CDs, video or audio packages" or "Structured reading, video or audio". However, it is recommended you contact CPA Australia to confirm this. Australian Institute of Management It is recommended you contact the Australian Institute of Management directly to confirm their stance on claiming CPD from an external provider. Australasian Mutuals Institute (AM Institute) It is recommended you contact the AM Institute directly to confirm their stance on claiming CPD from an external provider.
