Board Matters is an Australia-wide governance advisory firm with a simple belief at its core: good governance should be real, practical, and make a genuine difference. For over 20 years, we’ve worked alongside boards, executives, and organisations to navigate complexity, improve performance, and build trust from the inside out.
Founded and led by seasoned governance professionals, we bring a rare blend of deep technical knowledge and lived boardroom experience. We don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions — we listen, we challenge, and we tailor our advice to help boards be courageous, capable, and future-focused.
At Board Matters, we’re not observers of governance — we’re in it, sleeves rolled up, helping boards turn principles into action. We believe the next generation of leaders will be the ones who reshape what governance looks like for the better and we want to be in instrumental in that change.
We’re proud to sponsor Chemistry Australia’s Emerging Leaders Award because we know that leadership doesn’t begin when you get the title — it starts when you take ownership, ask better questions, and care about outcomes beyond your own. These are the kinds of leaders the future needs, and we’re excited to support and celebrate them. www.boardmatters.com.au
