Undertook a 54 month contract with the Department of Health where I was initially tasked with undertaking a review of a major Commonwealth funded training program. Given my success in this role I soon transitioned to management of the program including reconciliation of funding across 22 sub-programs, interim and final reporting to the Commonwealth and liaison with various WA Health facilities and personnel.At the conclusion of this program, I shifted to developing policy, activity measurement and performance reporting capabilities with regard to the clinical placement of students in various health-related university and TAFE courses. In this role I have developed policy in the following areas; activity reporting, financial management and information technology. I co-authored the WA Health Clinical Training Review 2013 which presented the case for reform of the clinical placement process within WA Health, leading to the establishment of the Clinical Placement Management System project. This paper articulated the results of the first critical analysis of clinical placement activity undertaken by WA Health, and identified key risks and pressures faced by the public health system in an environment of growing demand by education providers.In this role I had responsibility for researching and writing responses to ministerial and parliamentary queries, and produced several position papers and other written and verbal advice to senior executives on many workforce-related issues.To ensure the success of this project could be monitored, interpreted and effectively reported I managed a large software development project, the Clinical Placement Management System project, which required identification of, and collaboration with numerous stakeholders; in both Health and Education sectors, together with external contractors and product vendors to ensure community and stakeholder expectations were met and desired outcomes and benefits achieved.
