Scope Home Access is supported by a Board of Directors who provide strategic leadership, set organisational objectives and monitor the performance of the organisation. Our Board members have diverse backgrounds and extensive experience in the Aged Care and Disability Sectors, community service and health care, finance, technology and digital media.
We seek to have representatives that include people with a disability and/or family members of people with a disability, as well as those aware of issues affecting older Australians represented on our Board of Directors. The board also aims to appoint candidates of good character and have a mix of expertise, legal and financial knowledge and leadership skills.
All board members undergo the required checks such as National Criminal History and/or an NDIS Working Screening Check, and any other checks required by legislation or the NDIS Practice Standards and Aged Care Quality Standards. Additionally, the board commits to regular reviews to ensure appropriateness of its governance processes and to ensure that members of the board have access and opportunities for any training when required.
