Governance

Mecwacare Governance

At Mecwacare, we are committed to strong governance and responsible business practices. We work with integrity, transparency and accountability to support the wellbeing of our residents, clients, families, employees and community.

This page provides information about the governance frameworks, policies and standards that guide our organisation and help us continue delivering safe, high-quality care and support.

Governance and Policies

The Mecwacare Board oversees the organisation’s strategy, financial performance and governance. The Board works to protect the interests of our residents, clients, employees, volunteers and broader community while supporting the long-term sustainability of the organisation.
While the Board delegates day-to-day management to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), it retains responsibility for Mecwacare’s overall direction, governance and performance.

Code of Conduct

The Mecwacare Code of Conduct sets clear expectations for workplace behaviour and professional standards across our organisation.

All employees, contractors, volunteers, senior executives and directors are expected to comply with the Code of Conduct and uphold the values that guide Mecwacare.

Feedback and continuous improvement

We welcome feedback from residents, clients, families and the wider community. Your feedback helps us understand what’s working well and where we can improve.

You can share feedback through our online Feedback Form.

All feedback is managed respectfully, confidentially and in a timely manner.
