As the ideal candidate, you will be an experienced governance executive with a proven track record in leading governance and compliance functions within a complex, regulated environment. You combine technical expertise in governance, risk and compliance with exceptional strategic judgement, influencing capability, and strong stakeholder engagement skills. Highly ethical and collaborative, you are motivated to contribute to an organisation with a strong social purpose. As a clinical leader, ideally with a strong background in aged care and residential services, you will be a Registered Nurse with a current AHPRA Registration. Beyond your technical expertise, your ability to engage, communicate, and bring people on the journey will be critical to success.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact in a respected, values-based organisation.
