IHCA
became a Company in October 2001
IHCA officially became a company limited by guarantee on 20 September
2001, adding a number of benefits to the organisation’s operations.
The
change of operational status was needed to allow IHCA to implement its
plans to expand—particularly into other states within Australia,
where IHCA can operate as a consulting body and offer its range of services
and products to the health and community sectors.
As
a company, IHCA now has a board of independent directors. This is required
to ensure management of governance matters, assist with enhancing public
understanding of IHCA’s business operations and to facilitate effective
work and undertakings with other organisations.
IHCA’s
directors are:
- Mr Richard Silver (Secretary), Australian Government Solicitor

Consultancy Services
