The Housing Choices Board of Australia continues to demonstrate its commitment to and compliance with all governance requirements. The Board rigorously questions and challenges all proposed transactions to satisfy itself that these are in the best interest of Housing Choices and its residents. A significant achievement this year was the extensive governance review, which demonstrates the Board’s continued commitment to excellence. The findings will form the basis for the medium and long-term governance plans to further bolster and guide the organisation in our next exciting growth phase.
