The Australian Centre for Healthcare Governance (ACHG) is an initiative of the Victorian Healthcare Association (VHA), providing practical governance support to the health and community sector.
The ACHG assists directors of healthcare boards and executive management teams to fulfil their governance responsibilities by providing a tailored governance support program that meets the unique needs of the organisation.
In addition, the ACHG engages directly with individual health services and community organisations to provide an assessment and analysis of an organisation’s processes against industry governance requirements and best-practice standards to identify gaps and make practical recommendations for improvement.
