OUR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Department of Arts and Museums Annual Report 2013-14 19

The Department’s governance framework is underpinned by nine principles of governance.

Governance Framework and ModelCorporate governance describes the processes by which an organisation is directed, controlled and held to account for its actions. The Department’s Leadership Team uses the following model to depict its accountability framework as it clearly demonstrates the linkages between the three key parts of a good governance system: governance, risk and compliance. The Department’s governance framework is underpinned by nine principles of governance. These are based on the Australian Stock Exchange principles of corporate governance which have been reworked by the Office of Public Sector Standards Commissioner, Government of Western Australia for a public sector environment.

Principles of the Department’s GovernanceGovernment and public sector relationship: the Department’s relationship with the government is clear.

Management and Oversight: the Department’s management responsibilities and accountabilities, including its oversight mechanisms, are clearly defined.

Organisational Structure: the Department’s structure serves its operations. Operations: the Department plans its operations to achieve its goals. Ethics and Integrity: ethics and integrity are embedded in the Department’s values and operations.

People: the Department’s leadership in people management contributes to individual and organisational developments.

Finance: the Department safeguards financial integrity and accountability.

Communication: the Department communicates with all parties in a way that is accessible, open and responsive.

Risk Management: the Department identifies and manages its risks.

Governing LegislationThe Department is responsible for administering four pieces of legislation, with two Acts and two pieces of subordinate legislation, on behalf of the Ministers for Arts and Museums.

This legislation provides an overriding direction for many functions that the Department performs and is the foundation to a number of its Output Groups. The Department has developed a program of review aimed at ensuring its legislation remains relevant to its functions and incorporates best practice in the areas it administers.

Legislation administered:• The Museums and Art Galleries Act• Meteorites Act• Information Act (Part 9)• Strehlow Research Centre Act

The Museums and Art Galleries Act was repealed on 30 June 2014. The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory Act commenced on 1 July 2014.

Following the establishment of the Department, a considerable amount of work has been undertaken to ensure compliance with the Work Health and Safety (National Uniform Legislation) Act 2011 and the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act (WRC Act).

Activities undertaken to implement the WHS legislation have included:• a gap analysis undertaken by an independent

WHS project officer to identify areas for review or amendments under the Work Health and Safety Act;

• awareness discussions conducted with staff to provide guidance on the statutory requirements placed on them; the importance of staff cooperation and compliance in reporting hazards was promoted to reduce the incidence of workplace injury and disease; and

• worker consultation through the Work Health and Safety Committee; Work Health Safety Representatives (where applicable) and information included within regular Chief Executive newsletters and/or the staff intranet.

The Department’s policies share strong linkages to work health and safety legislation and provide a flexible framework for the day-to-day management of work health and safety matters, with a focus on continuous improvement and strong governance.

The Department Leadership Team (DLT) acts as the Work Health and Safety approving body. The DLT is supported by a Work Health and Safety Committee, which is made up of executive membership, branch membership and staff elected representatives from across the Department.

Community EngagementThe Department undertook a range of community engagement activities during 2013-14, including:

Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory• Organised and presented an exciting program of

15 exhibitions at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT) to continue to engage with Territorians and international and interstate visitors.

• Of those exhibitions, three were on loan from lenders that MAGNT has never before formally engaged with, therefore generating greater awareness of the MAGNT and the Department in our national community of art and museum institutions.

• Commemorated the 100th anniversary of English naturalist and evolutionist Alfred Russel Wallace’s death by developing the major exhibition Wallace: the rEvolutionary Man. This exhibition was the only one to be developed by an Australian institution that marked this significant date. The project featured an interactive cabinet of curiosities, a digital cabinet that allowed visitors to ‘open’ and explore the contents of a number of species collected and mounted by Wallace.

• Attracted more than 270 entries, from all Australian states and territories, except Tasmania, to the 30th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award with 78 finalists selected for display. The exhibition celebrates the important contribution made by Indigenous artists and helps to promote greater appreciation and understanding of the quality and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art throughout Australia.

• Presented MAGNT’s first ticketed exhibition in recent times, Dinosaurs Alive, an outdoor educative exhibition, which featured robotic dinosaurs. The exhibition explored the 165 million-year journey of the Age of Dinosaurs. As at the end of the financial year, ticket sales were exceeding expectations with more than 4000 visitors attending in the first four weeks, resulting in more than $60,000 from ticket sales.

• Commenced a major project to present the first solo exhibition in recent years of a local, contemporary, non-Indigenous artist Evolution – a disrespective by Rob Brown, and in doing so, formally engaged with more than 50 private lenders from within the local and national community. As a result of these connections, more than 40 lenders have agreed to contribute works to the exhibition, raising awareness of MAGNT and the Department’s focus on community engagement.

• Attracted more than 60 entries from most Northern Territory senior secondary schools for the annual Exit Art exhibition. MAGNT, in conjunction with the Department of Education, presents this exhibition of Year 12 students’ final year artwork, which this year presented artworks by 45 finalists from 15 schools Territory wide. The exhibition and the official opening is a significant vehicle for engagement with the youth of the NT.

• Continued to use social media platforms and smart phone applications to enhance online engagement with the local, national and international community for the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award.

NT Archives Service• The new Northern Territory Archives Centre held its

first public Open Day on 5 April 2014 with more than 300 people attending. Visitors learnt about the services and archival collections of the Northern Territory Archives Service and National Archives of Australia available to the public in the one location.

• The Northern Territory Archives Service partnered with the Genealogical Society of the Northern Territory to host 10 history seminars at the Archives Centre in August 2013 and April 2014.

Arts NT• In 2013-14, the Chan Contemporary Art Space

attracted more than 5540 visitors to eight Territory focussed exhibitions and 37 public program opportunities. The program provided showcasing and professional development opportunities for 254 visual artists and performers (98 Indigenous) through collaborative programs involving up to 27 organisations from the arts, community, corporate and educational sectors.

• Arts NT has distributed 251 grants through the Arts Grants Program to support arts and cultural activities for individuals, community arts organisations, festivals and events.

• Arts NT has convened seven grants assessment panels with community peers involved in decision making, recommendations and advice, including for the Project Rounds, NT Arts Program and Services (NTAPS) funding, Artists in Residence and for the Regional Arts Fund.

• Panel members are drawn from the NT Register of Peers, which forms an official pool of specialist advice in arts development. The approved Register achieves a broad, balanced and fair representation of art forms as well as arts management and community interests, including those of multicultural and remote Northern Territory and Indigenous arts.
