We partner with over 2,000 members including general practitioners, nurses, allied health practitioners, practice manager and consumer representatives, supporting diverse communities across the Northern Sydney region.

  • Explore and develop non-government funding streams such as fundraising, philanthropy, corporate partnerships and bequests;
  • Represent SNHN at relevant state, national and international events, ensuring it continues to shape the conversation in line with global best practice;
  • Exercise prudent financial stewardship, ensuring operations are delivered within agreed budgets;
  • Optimise the power of the PHN national network, accelerating impact;
  • Foster a positive, inclusive and high performing culture.

We are seeking a visionary CEO from within the broad healthcare setting; private, NFP or public. You will demonstrate a track record of driving innovation and change through a combination of strategy, structure and people, to achieve outstanding engagement and outcomes for the communities served. You will understand government relationships and programs and have the capacity to identify opportunities and work with stakeholders to deliver on PHN objectives. We are seeking a natural leader with high emotional intelligence who can inspire those around them. A curious mindset and passion for healthcare and the impact it has on the community is essential.

This represents a wonderful opportunity for a commercially astute, values-driven and experienced CEO to join SNHN at a pivotal moment in our evolution.
