Committees and Reference Groups - Other

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is a formally appointed committee of the Council and is responsible to that body. The Audit Committee does not have executive powers or authority to implement actions in areas over which management has responsibility and does not have any delegated financial responsibility. The Audit Committee does not have any management functions and is therefore independent of management.

The Committee's role is to report to Council and provide appropriate advice and recommendations on matters relevant to its Charter in order to facilitate decision-making by Council in relation to the discharge of its responsibilities.

Monash Responsible Gambling Taskforce

The Monash Responsible Gambling Taskforce meets bi-monthly with broad representation from community members, industry representatives and service providers. This group is working together to benefit the community through reducing the impacts and stigma of
problem gambling.

Multicultural Advisory Committee

The Multicultural Advisory Committee (MAC) has reviewed its Terms of Reference and expanded its membership to include a broader representation of the Monash community. The MAC was formally launched in April 2009 and has met on a bi-monthly basis throughout the year.

The MAC has had input into the development of Council's new
Multicultural Framework and Action Plan 2009-2013.

Senior Citizens Forum

The Senior Citizens Forum consists of community leaders from the 46 Senior Citizens groups who meet quarterly within the City of Monash. The group's members are predominantly from a Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) background.

The aim of the Senior Citizens Forum is to advise Council on issues affecting the health and well-being of seniors from CALD backgrounds and their families living and working in Monash.
