Message from the CEO: I am delighted to say Australia’s first national leadership program for Women in Digital Health which we launched this year has achieved its first milestone with the graduation of 25 participants. We collaborated with partners Telstra Health, Alcidion, EY and Coviu to ensure the program delivered to everyone’s expectations. And we drew on the expertise and wisdom of women already working and achieving in our sector, who acted as role models, mentors, and coaches. Designed for women working in digital health, at all stages in their leadership development, the program is focused on leading self, leading culture and leading people.
By any measure, the inaugural program has been a resounding success. Now, with a mind to continually challenging ourselves, we are reviewing it in detail before we open applications for the next round of candidates who will undertake the course in 2023.
A special thank you to Professor Wendy Chapman, Janine Cox, Dr Ruth de Souza, Tricia Liebke, Dr Magdalena Simonis and Dr Jen Beer who shared their personal experiences and epitomised the program goals of confidence, competency and connection – “Confidence to know you can, competency to know how to and the connection to know you’ll be able to”.
