Meet our Board
As a not-for-profit company, we have members rather than shareholders. We channel all our funds into the healthcare services we provide. And our Board plays a crucial role in ensuring everything we do continues to benefit the communities we serve across NSW and the ACT.
The people leading our person-centred approach.
More than ensuring financial viability and sustainability, our Board provides strategic guidance and operational oversight.
Our board members ensure we’re all working to meet or exceed our person-centred governance obligations and ambitious strategic goals.
Broad real-world experience. Deep expert knowledge.
All of our board members are leaders in their respective fields. And while they each bring unique skills, expertise and insights to their role, they all share a proven commitment to community service in the health or not-for-profit sectors, personifying the community-focused purpose and values at the heart of Grand Pacific Health.
Meet our Board.
