Info

Corporate governance statement On 31 March 2003 the Australian Stock Exchange released the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles of Good Governance and Best Practice Recommendations (‘ASX Principles’). Those ASX Principles require major publicly listed companies to disclose in their annual reports whether their corporate governance practices follow the ASX Principles on an ‘if not, why not’ basis. RDNS is not a publicly listed company and is not subject to the ASX Principles – indeed some of them are not applicable to the not-for-profit sector. For over ten years the Board of Directors of Royal District Nursing Service has worked, as a key priority, on the development and adoption of processes and practices which are aimed at achieving best practice in good governance in the not-for-profit sector. So, whilst not technically required to comply with the ASX Principles, RDNS Directors have determined to use them as the basis for continuing to revise and update their own practices. The RDNS Board Charter, originally developed in 1996 / 97, sets out the basis by which the RDNS Board fulfils its role and the Charter Statement (1999) provides further guidance on the way by which the Board/management/staff interface operates. In summary, the Board is a strong advocate of good corporate governance and seeks to ensure that all officers and employees of the company fulfil their obligations and their responsibilities to all stakeholders. 40 RDNS Annual Report 2008 Corporate governance statement
