About the Organisation

Austin Health is one of Victoria’s largest healthcare providers, serving Melbourne’s north-eastern corridors, including diverse multicultural and veteran communities. Employing around 11,000 staff, Austin Health is the largest provider of specialist training in Victoria and an internationally recognised centre for hospital-based research. The hospital offers high-quality, person-centred care across four main sites in Melbourne, people’s homes, and regional hospitals throughout Victoria. Austin Health is renowned for its expertise in cancer, transplantation, infectious diseases, obesity, sleep medicine, intensive care, neurology, endocrinology, mental health, and rehabilitation. Austin Health also provides state-wide specialist services, including spinal cord care, respiratory support, liver transplants, brain injury rehabilitation, child mental health, toxicology, and poison information.

About the Role

Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the Board, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) leads the Finance Directorate and is a key member of the Austin Health Executive.

Operating in a complex environment, the CFO drives financial strategy, sustainability, and performance to target, to support the delivery of high-quality healthcare for patients and to secure Austin Health’s position as a leading tertiary teaching and research facility. The CFO will help cultivate a strong culture, ensure robust financial stewardship, and engage effectively with key government bodies, funding agencies, and stakeholders at all levels. Financial resilience will be a key priority, with a focus on innovation and improved business intelligence. Inheriting a skilled finance team (6 direct reports and 200+ staff), the CFO will lead across core finance functions: Business Partnering/FP&A, Financial Control, Health Information Services, Business Intelligence, Procurement & Supply, and Enterprise Risk. Having recently implemented a new Financial Management Information System (FMIS), the CFO will also ensure these systems improve efficiency and financial oversight.

An influential executive and trusted advisor to the CEO and Board, you have exceptional stakeholder engagement skills and the ability to inspire a high-performing team.
