Governance
Leadership and strategic management
As chief executive officer of the department, the Director-General is supported in meeting her statutory responsibilities under the Public Service Act 2008, the Financial Accountability Act 2009 and other relevant legislation, by the expert advice and assistance of the Board of Management and five special purpose governance committees.
Governance committees
The five special purpose committees support the Board of Management in its strategic leadership functions by monitoring performance and identifying and implementing business improvement opportunities in their key areas of responsibility.

In 2008–09 the Board of Management's committee structure, terms of reference (PDF, 172.4 KB) and memberships were reviewed to integrate the committees of the industrial relations component of the former Department of Employment and Industrial Relations and the Department of Justice and Attorney-General.
The committee structure establishes the overarching governance framework of the department and through that framework, a stronger and more integrated approach to departmental planning and performance.
