PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

Strategic Review and Governance

We are in the final stages of a strategic review conducted by the Board and Senior Management Team to ensure our resources and operations continually maximise the impact and benefit to our members and beneficiaries.

The strategic planning process encompasses:
