Governance

Habitat for Humanity Victoria is an Incorporated Association and a Public Benevolent Institution dedicated to providing decent and affordable shelter and housing for all those in need.

 

We are committed to working to eliminate inadequate and poverty housing. It is an Income Tax Exempt Charity and a Deductible Gift Recipient. It is also a charity registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission.

​

No fees are paid to those serving as Directors. However, reasonable expenses incurred by Directors during the course of their role on our Board can be reimbursed. Every effort is made to keep all costs within reasonable and modest budgets.

​

The Executive Director is responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of the Association as delegated by the Board. The Executive Director meets regularly with staff to develop policies, monitor strategies and issues and the Association’s performance. The Executive Director also has oversight of the home building activities of our Chapters and the selection of our Partner families.

The Board makes decisions that are critical to the ongoing success of Habitat for Humanity, Victoria; including setting the Association’s strategic direction and establishing its policies. The Board is also responsible for:

  • Endorsing the selection of Partner families

  • Approval of land purchases and budgets for Home Building projects

  • Monitoring the performance of the organisation’s activities and overseeing its financial position

Habitat for Humanity Victoria Chief Executive Officer, Philip Curtis, is also the organisation's Company Secretary, responsible for providing advice to the Board as well as fulfilling the Board's legal responsibilities under the Corporations Act.
