Mental Illness Education ACT (MIEACT) is the ACT’s primary mental health education provider for workplaces, community groups and secondary schools across the Canberra region and surrounding area.
Sage Partners Australia Principal, Dee, was engaged to work with the board as a short-term interim CEO and to manage the national recruitment of a new CEO.
Dee supported the Board by managing the full recruitment process that was robust, cost-effective, and attracted a strong field of candidates. Her ability to consult with stakeholders, knowledge of the business environment and future opportunities, enabled her to develop a fit for purpose job design with the desired skill set and characteristics and secure the right candidate to successfully lead MIACT into the future.
During the recruitment process, Dee also developed Board Committee Charters to guide strategic committee board to support the Board and improve governance. She also developed a Risk Management Framework, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan, governance and operational policies and procedures in readiness for successful quality accreditation.
