The Institute of Community Directors Australia (ICDA) is an independent social enterprise, dedicated solely to serving our community. As a purpose-built governance network, we cater to the unique needs of not-for-profits and social enterprises.

ICDA fills the gap in practical governance training for board directors and staff within the community sector, including not-for-profit organisations, social enterprises, school councils, sport clubs, committees and local councils. We deliver accredited governance and leadership courses and resources tailored to the community sector's needs, in response to what you say you want.

From lunch and learns and short courses to certificate programs on good governance for board directors, we cover topics such as leadership, people management, conflict resolution, fundraising and financial management. Our menu includes workshops, self-paced learning, and micro-credentials.

ICDA gathers valuable data about the not-for-profit sector to tell the NFP story to Australia, advocating for the best strategies to help Australian communities thrive.

Stay informed with our two news products: The Community Advocate, providing weekly updates, and Community Director’s Intelligence, offering monthly analyses of community trends.

ICDA is one of a range of social enterprises in the Our Community family, linking you with a fundraising platform, grants database and funding application tools.

Thousands of pages of free content on governance essentials. Hundreds of hours of training courses. Easy to use tech tools. One huge agenda.

Let’s get started.

Community Directors Council
#

The Community Directors Council, formed in February 2018, is ICDA's advisory arm and brings a wealth of talent, experience, skills and direction to the organisation.

The council is chaired by former Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission (ACNC) commissioner and Adjunct Professor Susan Pascoe (AM), with the other members all top not-for-profit advocates and thinkers

They've held senior roles in government, business, academia, and at the coalface of community organisations, bringing specialist knowledge of not-for-profit law, finance, governance, theory and change management to the table.

Ms Pascoe was Inaugural ACNC commissioner, and also chairs the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and the Principals Australia Institute Certification Advisory Board. She was appointed as Adjunct Professor at the University of Western Australia in November 2018. The rest of the board is shown below.
