Serving on a board offers medical professionals a unique way to extend their expertise beyond clinical practice, contribute to the community, and broaden their leadership skills. But with the opportunity comes responsibility. Directors are entrusted with governance, strategy, and risk oversight, often in complex and sensitive environments.

Lawyer and experienced board chair Vic Rajah explains to the Bongiorno’s Group’s Chantelle Turner what’s really involved in board service, from the time commitment to the legal obligations and potential liabilities. Drawing on his roles with Best Chance, a large not-for-profit supporting children and families, and other community organisations, Vic outlines the rewards, risks, and considerations for doctors seeking to take on this vital role.
