Board of Management

Alpine Health is governed by a Board of Management, who are volunteers and are selected from nominations within our community, and appointed by the Victorian Minister for Health.

They have a diverse range of skills, experience and interests that contribute to Alpine Health, to ensure the efficient, effective and accountable governance of the organisation through strategic leadership and a direction focussed on defined outcomes.

The Board of Management comes together:

To govern and improve the well-being of the organisation,
To protect and improve the health of the community; and
To improve access to, and delivery of, health services.
