“Kathleen has a strong appreciation of the complex relationships that underlie the health system in Australia, particularly Commonwealth/state relations and jurisdictions. Through her collaborative partnering approach she has led many processes seeking improvements to the way health services are designed and evaluated across Australia, and information is collected and analysed. Kathleen has an excellent and very practical understanding of organisations and change, including strategic directions, leadership, motivation, performance management and culture.” Heather Gordon, Director, Rhagodia Australia
