MSC Mission Office Australia Board

The MSC Mission Office Australia Incorporated is governed by a Board with 12 Directors. Directors and members attend the Board meetings that are held six times a year. The Annual General Meeting is usually in May.

Each Board Meeting has a Director's Report about activities since the last meeting, financial reports for each of the funds, projects to be considered for approval, and other special reports from time to time.

Board and Project Meetings

Board meetings are generally Friday of the second week of every second month through the year.


Governance

The MSC Mission Office Australia Inc. has a defined governance process. This process ensures that:

  • Funds received as donations are used as directed by the donor

  • Funds are used according to our policy of accountability and transparency

The process requires that:

  • Application forms with a quotation be completed and approved by a local authority. e.g- MSC Mission Offices are established in Papua New Guinea, Fiji (Central Pacific), India, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam and Africa.

  • The applications are forwarded to the Board of the MSC Mission Office Australia Inc, which either accepts or rejects the applications in accordance with the defined protocol.

  • If the application has been approved, the allocated funding is transferred to an approved overseas account.

  • At the completion of a project the applicant is required to complete an acquital form, along with a project report with receipts (if required) and photo's and forward them to the MSC Mission Office Australia.

Board Meetings

  • Board meetings are held every 2 months to consider project applications and distribute donations. The constitution requires six Board meetings to be conducted each year.
