Boards are required to maintain a skills matrix of the board to inform vacancies and assist succession planning, detailing the mix of the personal qualities, character, reputation, specialist or technical expertise and lived experience required to successfully acquit the responsibilities of the board.
Boards should also comprise members from different backgrounds that reflect the community that it serves, and Victoria more broadly.
