How the Board Operates

Controlled Entities

An Institute may have established one or more subsidiaries or controlled entities, and these separate entities may be established under separate legislation such as the Corporations Act 2001 (Clth). These entities may or may not have their own Board of directors and may be a separate employer of staff working within the operations of that entity.  

If an institute has any controlled entities, the Institute Board is required to maintain oversight of the operation of these separate entities and has a range of obligations under the Commercial Guidelines – TAFE Institutes issued by the Minister.
