As Victoria’s largest public health service, we continue to support and recruit strong, experienced leaders. Some of our newest appointments have built their careers with us over many years. Others come to Monash Health with equally impressive resumes from across Australia and around the world.
Each brings to Monash Health a wealth of skills, experience and expertise.
I am pleased to welcome them to the team.
