Governance ArrangementsPage contents: Overview | Download documents OverviewThis section contains information and resources about the governance issues relating to Community Health Centres. The Health Services Legislation Amendment Act 2008 was passed in the Victorian Parliament on 4 December 2008. The date of proclamation is 31 March 2009. The Act followed a review of Community Health Centre governance and accountability undertaken by the Department of Human Services in 2008. The review was supported by consultation with Community Health Centres, peak bodies such as the Victorian Healthcare Association, and unions. The size, scope and nature of Community Health Centres and the services they provide have changed significantly since the Health Services Act, which regulates them, was introduced in 1988. The Act provides a new framework for Community Health Centre governance and accountability which comprises a voluntary registration scheme and performance standards to ensure that quality services are provided to the Victorian people. Community Health Centres that register are eligible to receive community health and dental funding and will be subject to the new monitoring and governance framework. Registered Community Health Centres operate as companies limited by guarantee. Information on ASIC’s requirements for companies limited by guarantee can be found on the Australian Securities and Investments Commission website.
