Governance & Management Pty Ltd was formed in 1998 to resource the boards of nonprofit organisations in Australia by Maureen and Jim Cleary because they believe that nonprofit organisations need board members who have the leadership skills in their governing responsibilities to take their organisations into a certain and productive future. Nonprofit organisations will not achieve their full potential without the leadership of accountable, well-equipped and capable boards.

Governance & Management Pty Ltd is a service organisation committed to assisting nonprofit boards increase their effectiveness.

G&M Services include:

• Consultancy and governance training services for religious organisations.
• Australia's largest online bookstore on governance and management for nonprofit organisations.
• Governance subscription service providing a board members' newsletter and a management information clippings service for executive managers.
• Evaluation programs for boards and chief executive officers.

During 2001 - 2005, Governance and Management Pty Ltd traded as the Nonprofit Governance & Management Centre.
