What Your Day Will Look Like

In this influential role, you'll guide a dedicated Governance Unit and work closely with clinicians, executives, and community partners to embed best practices in safety, quality, and risk management. Your day will be rich with purpose—whether you're shaping policy, responding to clinical incidents, mentoring future leaders, or championing open disclosure and compassionate conversations. You'll use data and research to inform decisions, foster a restorative just culture, and ensure that every voice—especially those of patients and families—is heard and valued. Every action you take will contribute to a culture of trust, learning, and continuous improvement across Darling Downs Health.

Dignity – you treat others with respect, display reasonableness and take pride in what you do.
Innovation – you embrace change and strive to know more, learn more and do better.
Courage – you respectfully question for clarity and have the strength and confidence to Speak Up.
