Built for Australian boards — charities to listed companies
For boards that would rather govern than reformat spreadsheets
Meetings, papers, minutes, decisions and compliance — all in one calm, secure place. Because the Sunday night before a board meeting shouldn't be spent wrangling "board_pack_FINAL_v7_actually-final.pdf".
Every organisation is onboarded personally. We set up your board, import your records and have you live before your next meeting.
The payoff
Less time on the pack. More time on the decisions.
Board admin is quietly enormous — assembling papers, chasing the latest version, writing up minutes, following up actions. BoardTable takes that off your desk so meetings are spent governing, not formatting.
Board-pack prep
Once your board and templates are set up, assembling and publishing the pack takes minutes — not a lost Sunday.
No more “which file?”
Every director opens the current pack on any device. Zero “FINAL_v7” email chains, zero confusion in the room.
Actions & obligations
Every action is numbered, assigned, dated and chased automatically — and every decision is audit-logged.
Figures are typical of a board once set up, based on the admin we see boards carry today. We'll show you the real numbers for your board in a demo.
One place, every stage
The whole meeting lifecycle, handled
From the first draft agenda to the final signed-off minutes, everything lives in one secure place — so nothing lives in someone's inbox.
Before the meeting
Build & distribute the pack
- Draft the agenda from a template
- Assemble papers into one board pack
- Publish once — directors read on any device
In the meeting
Run a focused session
- Directors arrive prepared, not catching up
- Decisions and resolutions recorded live
- Confidential items shown only to those allowed
After the meeting
Minutes & follow-through
- Draft minutes from the agenda
- Circulate for review and sign-off
- Actions tracked to completion, with reminders
AI that does the heavy lifting
The prep, drafted for you. You just review and send.
BoardTable reads the papers and does the first draft — the agenda, the summary, the minutes — so your time goes on judgement, not typing. You stay in control: nothing is saved or published until you approve it.
Build the agenda from your papers
Upload the source documents and BoardTable drafts a complete agenda from them. You review and adjust before anything is saved.
Risk & language scan
Checks the pack for risky wording, unsupported claims, admissions and undeclared interests — before it goes to directors.
Five-minute pack summary
A concise briefing of the whole board pack — what matters, what's being decided and what to probe — so directors arrive ready.
Prep questions, with citations
The questions a sharp director would ask, grouped by agenda item and quoted straight from the papers — no guesswork.
Minutes from your transcript Available now
Upload the meeting transcript and BoardTable maps it to your agenda and drafts governance-grade minutes — decisions and actions captured in place. Hours of writing become minutes of reviewing. Live today, not a someday-2026 promise.
Actions tracked automatically
Decisions and follow-ups become numbered, assigned, dated actions — chased automatically so nothing is lost between meetings.
AI you can trust in the boardroom
Grounded in your own record
It works from your board's papers, minutes and registers — not the open internet. It won't invent a policy you don't have.
Shows its working
Prep questions and drafts point back to the paper they came from, so you can check the source before you rely on it.
Never trains on your data
Your board's information is never used to train AI models. When you use an AI feature, only the text needed for that request is sent to our AI provider, and it is not retained for training — see the DPA for exactly what goes where.
AI drafts; your board decides. Nothing is saved or published without a person's review — because fiduciary duty can't be handed to a machine.
The board pack problem
Good governance shouldn't mean fixing spreadsheet formatting
Most boards still run on scattered PDFs, version-confusion and last-minute scrambles. Your directors' time is too valuable for that.
The old way
- Board packs emailed as huge PDF attachments
- "Which version is the latest?" every meeting
- Actions lost in the minutes, never followed up
- Resolutions, conflicts and risk tracked in spreadsheets
- Compliance cobbled together each year
- No record of who saw what, and when
With BoardTable
- One secure portal for every meeting and document
- Always the current board pack, on any device
- Numbered actions tracked to completion, with reminders
- Built-in registers for decisions, interests and risk
- ACNC & ASIC reporting data ready when you need it
- Complete audit trail of board activity

Minutes started for you
A first draft from the agenda — you review and approve
Board pack summaries
A 60-page paper distilled to a one-page brief — the decision, the recommendation and the key risk — so directors arrive across the detail, on a draft you can always read in full.
Ask BoardTable
"What did we resolve about the lease?" — ask in plain English and get the answer from your meeting history, registers and papers, with a link to the source.
Minutes, started for you
Turn the agenda and your notes into a structured first draft — decisions and actions captured — then edit and approve. You stay in control; it just removes the blank-page slog.
