Committee Structuring

The function of the Board of Management is to oversee the governance of the Hospital and to ensure that the services provided by the Hospital comply with the requirements of the Act and the by-laws of the Hospital.

A number of sub-committees consisting of Board, Staff, Visiting Medical Officers and members of the community have been formed to advise and recommend on relevant matters.

The Board of Management meets on the fourth Tuesday evening of each month (except January) to deal with matters in a streamlined reporting format that conforms with the Accreditation guidelines. Meetings commence at 7.00 pm. in the Board Room, Level 4 of the Hospital and are open to the public.

Staff Management Goals and Initiatives

The new Public Sector Management & Employment Act 1998 has been introduced to supersede the Employment Equity Act. This has effectively brought into line all Victorian Public Sector organisations to establish a set of employment and conduct principles. Adherence has been identified with the principles.

Promotion of the principles of public sector conduct

* A code of conduct has been issued and made known to all staff.
   Redress against unfair or unreasonable treatment
* All staff are aware of the avenue of redress available.
   Employment decisions are based on merit
* Selection policies / processes have been documented and are readily accessible to all staff.
   Equal employment opportunity and management of diversity
* EEO/MD policies / processes have been documented and are readily available to staff.
