Leaders of the future graduate

This year’s Health Sector Leadership Program has concluded with 23 participants graduating at a formal function in the Old Treasury building.

Coming from six health associations including ADAVB, the participants attended four interactive workshops and had a mentor each throughout the program. The other associations taking part were the Australian Physiotherapy Association, Optometrists Association Australia, Pharmaceutical Society of Australian Victorian Branch, Dietitians Association of Australia, and Speech Pathology Australia.

ADAVB’s participants were: Drs Aditi Bhide, Nadia Dobromilsky, Alison Sahhar and Jonathan Teoh. (Pictured from left are Dr Bhide, Dr Teoh, ADAVB President Dr Jo-Anne Cherry and Dr Sahhar - Dr Dobromilsky was unable to attend the function.)

The State Government’s Chief Allied Health Advisor, Ms Kathleen Philip, who was impressed by the program, spoke to graduates and guests about shaping new leadership roles, and highlighted her own experiences in taking on her position.

The program, which is an initiative of ADAVB, aims to support the development of future leaders in the health sector, and is wholly supported by Guild Insurance Ltd. It was presented by Leadership Victoria, who are highly respected for the quality of their developmental programs.
