Governance confidence improves when oversight is clearly understood.

Why the Governance Health Check exists

Boards are accountable for governance outcomes, but often lack a clear, structured way to assess how oversight is functioning in practice.


The Governance Health Check provides a short, confidential way to reflect on governance context, confidence, and areas where discussion may be useful.


It is designed to support board judgement — not to produce ratings, audits, or compliance findings.

How boards typically use it

Boards often use the Governance Health Check:

• Ahead of governance reviews or planning sessions
• To support Chair–CEO or committee discussions
• To identify where oversight confidence is uneven
• As a neutral reference point for governance conversations


It is designed to complement existing governance frameworks, reporting, and assurance activity.

Structured insight that strengthens judgement — not another governance process.
