The board pack problem

Governance shouldn't mean chasing email attachments

Most boards still run on scattered PDFs, version-confusion and last-minute scrambles. There's a better way.

Without The Board Cartel

  • Board packs emailed as huge PDF attachments
  • "Which version is the latest?" every meeting
  • Actions lost in the minutes, never followed up
  • Resolutions and conflicts tracked in spreadsheets
  • ACNC reporting cobbled together each year
  • No record of who saw what, and when

With The Board Cartel

  • One secure portal for every meeting and document
  • Always the current board pack, on any device
  • Actions tracked to completion, automatically
  • Built-in registers for decisions, interests and risk
  • ACNC AIS data ready when you need it
  • Complete audit trail of board activity

ACNC-aligned

Workflows that map to ACNC governance standards and Annual Information Statement requirements.

Priced for purpose

Transparent AUD pricing with not-for-profit discounts — not a quote-only enterprise sales process.

Designed for volunteer directors, not lawyers — clear language and an interface anyone can use.

Simple, transparent pricing

One price per board. Unlimited users.

Questions

Frequently asked

How much does it cost?

Plans start at AUD $49 per board per month with unlimited users. Standard is $99/month and Premium $179/month. Registered charities with annual expenses under $1M receive a discount of up to 40%, and every plan includes a 30-day free trial with no credit card required.

Do you charge per user?

No. You pay one price per board and add as many directors, committee members and staff observers as you like. Per-seat pricing punishes you for good governance — we don't do it.

Is it really built for Australian not-for-profits?

Yes. The platform is designed around Australian governance practice, including ACNC Annual Information Statement preparation, director and interest registers, and charity-specific compliance workflows.

How long does setup take?

Most boards are up and running the same day. You can create your board, invite directors, and upload your first board pack in minutes — and our AI import can bring across existing documents and registers.

How is our data kept secure?

We use encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS), optional two-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and a complete audit trail of board activity.

Can we cancel anytime?

Yes. Plans are month-to-month (or annual if you prefer the discount). You can export your data and cancel whenever you choose.
