Committees

published:21 Oct 2009

Throughout the year, committees work to develop policy and carry out the GTC's regulatory role. There are four committees with delegated powers:

• Executive committee - responsible for the strategic planning and review of all issues relating to the work of the GTC and for the strategic governance decisions of all matters not retained to council or delegated to other committees.
• Registration and regulation committee - concerned with all matters relating to the council’s registration and disciplinary functions.
• Policy and research committee - responsible for developing the overarching policy and research strategy for the council.
• Finance and general purposes committee - concerned with matters relating to the management of the council.

The GTC also has an audit committee, which is responsible for assessing the performance of the council. It independently reviews the overall systems of internal control and oversees the external audit process. The committee is required to report to council at least once a year in respect of these functions.
