• Advocacy and Influence: Drive advocacy and exert influence within the federal government, particularly in significant portfolios such as Health, Disability, and Aged Care.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Foster collaborative and cohesive engagement and partnerships with key stakeholders both internally and externally, including other MND partners.
• Sustainability: Ensure the organisation's ongoing financial sustainability by securing increased funding and establishing new revenue streams.
• Team Development: Nurture a successful and highly collaborative team to effectively implement the strategic plan.

Your Background:

The ideal candidate for this role is an accomplished CEO with experience in the not-for-profit sector, preferably within the health sector. You must have strong commercial acumen and possess a demonstrable track record of government and advocacy experience at the federal level.
