You’re a strategic communicator who brings clarity to complexity and purpose to everything you do. You understand the role communication plays in connecting people, driving meaningful people engagement, aligning priorities, and driving outcomes across a large, complex organisation.

You’re experienced in working across multiple traditional and digital channels, shaping clear and consistent messages for both internal and external audiences. You’re also someone who looks beyond the obvious, bringing fresh thinking and finding effective ways to engage, influence and enhance connection. You build strong, trusted relationships and work confidently with senior stakeholders, providing considered advice and navigating sensitive issues with sound judgement. As a leader, you create a positive, supportive and accountable team environment, enabling people to deliver their best work.

Most importantly, you’re motivated by impact. You’re driven by the opportunity to contribute and make a genuine difference, particularly across the health system and to the communities we serve.
