As the Chief Allied Health Officer at NT Health, I lead a team of over 800 allied health professionals across the Northern Territory, Australia. I am responsible for developing and implementing strategic plans, policies, and programs to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of allied health services. I also oversee the recruitment, retention, and professional development of allied health staff, and foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and excellence. With over 19 years of experience in the health sector, I have a strong track record of delivering results, building partnerships, and influencing change. I have a keen interest in workshop facilitation and quality improvement, and have applied these skills to various projects and initiatives that have enhanced the patient experience, increased staff engagement, reduces costs, and increased productivity. I am passionate about advancing the role and contribution of allied health to the health system, and supporting the health and wellbeing of the diverse and remote communities in the Northern Territory.
