  • A clinical qualification (Registered Nurse or equivalent), with deep knowledge of aged care legislation, standards and compliance frameworks.
  • Proven experience in quality, safety, risk management and clinical governance at a senior or executive level.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence, negotiate and lead change.
