Senior Executive Team

Welcome to the Mid North Coast Local Health District. In my role as Chief Executive, I am fortunate to be guided and supported by our Governing Board and a talented team of senior executives, as we work together to achieve better health for the Mid North Coast community.

The MNCLHD Senior Executive Team provides leadership across a number of directorates to plan and deliver contemporary, safe and high-quality health services aligned with our strategic directions.

Our Senior Executive Team strives to demonstrate NSW Health’s CORE values of collaboration, openness, respect and empowerment at all times, as we continue to build on and improve the health services we provide for our community.
