Join a board of directors of public health services, public hospitals, Ambulance Victoria and Health Purchasing Victoria - a great opportunity for an ADAVB member dentist to get involved in public health governance and make a difference to Victoria's health system.

Victorian health service boards are appointed by the Minister for Health and have well defined responsibilities. The Department of Health and Human Services provides a dedicated support program to develop board capability. Board appointments are held annually for public hospitals, Ambulance Victoria, and Health Purchasing Victoria. Board education aims to develop and strengthen each director’s capabilities. There are many resources available to support boards and their members.

Safe and high quality healthcare for all Victorians is a priority of the Victorian Government. Applicants must be able to demonstrate and provide evidence in support of the skills they identify in their applications. These positions provide an exciting opportunity for members of the Victorian public with relevant experience and qualifications to contribute to the strategic leadership of public health care delivery to the community.
