The Metro South Hospital and Health Board will benefit from the experience and skills of new member Mr Michael Goss, with Adjunct Professor Janine Walker AM continuing as Chair. In addition, Ms Helen Darch and Adjunct Professor Iyla Davies OAM are being reappointed and six other members will retain their positions.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Steven Miles welcomed the news and said the combination of new skills and perspectives combined with the stability of the reappointments would maintain the strength of the Metro South Hospital and Health Service.
“Mr Goss brings outstanding experience as a lawyer in the banking and finance fields, with skills in risk assessment and mitigation,” Deputy Premier Miles said.
“I am also pleased to announce Adjunct Professor Walker’s continued commitment to serve another term as Chair to ensure health services across the Metro South region continue to meet increasing demand. “It’s a testament to their past success and ability to work together that the Board is able to provide continuity and performance and remain largely unchanged this year.
