Governance
Broadly, governance refers to a range of regulations, rules, processes, and principles that ensures high quality practice and accountability while reducing the risk of harm. With respect to research, The Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (2018) states that an appropriate governance framework should be in place that considers quality, safety, privacy, risk management, financial management, and ethical acceptability.
Strong governance supports a primary objective of the service, by directly contributing to the promotion, protection and maintenance of the wellbeing, health and prosperity of the population of Tasmania and Australia. The TDLU Governance Framework can be found here.
