About The Role

• The Minister for Health, the Hon. Mary-Anne Thomas MP, is pleased to invite applications for part time board director positions at East Grampians Health Service. The positions start on 1 July 2026, for up to three years.
• 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.
• 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.
• Applications close at Midnight Sunday 23 November 2025. Further information about Victorian health service boards and how to apply, please go to the following website: www.health.vic.gov.au/board-applications or contact Jo Summers at East Grampians Health Service on 5352 9303.
