2 days ago
Public hospitals are entities operating under the Health Service Act (Vic) 1988 and are integral to the Victorian health system. The board is accountable to the Minister for Health for the delivery of health care to a high quality, safe and in a cost-effective and sustainable way.
About the role
These positions provide an exciting opportunity for persons with an interest in making a difference in the health sector and have the knowledge and skills for ensuring health care is delivered safely and effectively, with public money used to the benefit of all Victorians.
As a director you will be doing more than just contributing your time or knowledge. Being appointed to a hospital board places you in a position of trust. You will play an important role in providing leadership, accountability and integrity in the delivery of healthcare across Victoria.
Directors are required to attend a monthly board meeting of approximately 2-3 hours duration, participate in at least 2 board subcommittees and be available for other events requiring board representation. For details on the board and committee meetings please refer to the document Public Hospital and Multi Purpose Services – Meeting and Committee Information attached to this job.
The role of the board includes:
- setting the vision and strategy, in line with government priorities
- accountable for the delivery of safe and quality care, including cultural safety and freedom from racism, discrimination, harassment and bullying
- ensuring the ongoing financial viability and sustainability of the organisation
- responsible for all aspects of the organisation’s performance and activities
- recruitment, support and monitoring of the Chief Executive Officer
Who we're looking for
Applicants are selected for their capabilities, including personal and professional experience, knowledge, and skills that contribute to the strategic leadership and oversight of healthcare for the Victorian community. It is preferable that applicants reside in Victoria or, within the border community of those hospitals near the New South Wales and South Australian borders.
While Victorian public health boards are based on capabilities, boards are more effective when these capabilities also represent the richness of the diverse voices of Victorian communities. We encourage First Nations people, people living with a disability, people from culturally diverse backgrounds, people who identify as LGBTIQA+, gender equality, and upholding human rights.
All applications will be considered, however the board would particularly welcome applications from people with experience in:
- Audit and Risk Management
- Corporate Governance
- Law
- Patient (user) Experience and Consumer Engagement
- Strategic Leadership
- Asset Management
- Communication and Stakeholder Engagement; and
Please carefully read the How to apply document before starting your application, which is attached to this job. Applications will need to either create their profile (if applying for the first time) or review their profile (if have applied previously for a public board/committee position) at the start of the online application process.
The department welcomes the opportunity to discuss reasonable adjustments or support that can be provided throughout the recruitment process and/or post appointment. Please contacthealthservicegovernance@health.vic.gov.au to arrange a discussion.
Applications close at Midnight Sunday 23 November 2025.
