With 40 years of extensive experience within NSW Health, most recently as Chief Executive for Far West Local Health District, Brad joins NBMLHD during a period of health transformation in the Nepean, Hawkesbury, Blue Mountains and Lithgow regions.
As Stage 2 of the Nepean Redevelopment rises, clinical service planning for a new Blue Mountains Hospital well underway and construction of a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services unit on track to open later this year, there’s plenty of service innovations and projects to be excited about.
That excitement is one shared by Brad who says he feels privileged to represent the communities of the Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District and ensure the highest level of health care is delivered across the region.
“Leading a health organisation is a huge responsibility which I don’t take for granted. I’m incredibly lucky to join the team here at NBMLHD who have built a reputation as an organisation committed to fostering a culture of compassion, collaboration and education, one that is embedded in the health services it provides,” says Brad.
“I look forward to working with our stakeholders and empowering our staff, patients, and consumers to continue to create responsive models of care that address the growing needs of our community and put us at the forefront of health care delivery,” says Brad.
NBMLHD Board Chair, The Hon. Peter Collins, AM KC is proud to welcome Brad to the Local Health District.
“Brad has a proven track record of assisting Local Health Districts maintain and improve operational performance. His experience will be invaluable as we continue to build on our achievements and shape the future of integrated health care services across the local community,” says Peter.
“I am confident that under Brad’s direction our health care teams and the community they serve will reach newfound heights and place Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District as a capital destination for health research, innovation and employment.”
