Their mission is to harness all the information encoded in our genome to better diagnose, treat, predict and prevent disease.

From the individual patient with rare disease, to the many thousands affected by complex, widespread illness, we are pioneering discoveries across diseases that have the deepest impact on our community.


In 2023, the Garvan celebrates its 60th anniversary and reflects on a distinguished history of discovery and impact across disease areas as broad as cancer, immunodeficiency and inflammation, diabetes and obesity, osteoporosis and neurodegeneration, while also looking toward the future with its world-class research in areas such as data science, cellular and population genomics.

The Garvan's exceptional team is committed to the task of stopping disease before it starts.

The Individual


Proven influencing, negotiation and exceptional people management skills will be critical to the success of this role as will deep financial management and business analytical skills, with the ability to deliver timely and high-quality outcomes.

Prior experience in the research, academic, health or community sector would be viewed favourably and the alignment of the values and purpose of the Garvan is essential.


This is a significant opportunity for an exceptional operational leader to guide the Garvan - the largest and arguably most successful medical research centre in NSW - and to continue to create a future where everyone lives longer, healthier lives.

Moreover, the COO will join an employer of choice, leading and participating in a scientifically and culturally diverse research community.
