Appointing The Chief Health Officer for ACT Health
With a highly accomplished leader acting in the role, C-Suite Partners was retained by the Director General to establish and execute a rigorous process to ensure that the best Chief Health Officer was identified and appointed.
C-Suite Partners were selected as the preferred partner for the international search mandate for the Chief Health office for ACT Health working directly with the Chief Ministers Office.
In our consultation with leading state, territory, and federal government professionals, the Director General and additional stakeholders, a robust criterion for the performance expectations and requirements of this role was undertaken by C-Suite Partners. This would ensure that the talented incumbent and additional international leaders would be evaluated in an auditable manner ensuring non-bias, diverse and inclusive talent acquisition, extensive clinical and commercial evaluation, and rigorous probity assessment in a politically agnostic environment
With extensive international networks and an Asia Pacific footprint, C-Suite Partners enacted a global search of the world’s leading public healthcare professionals encompassing talent at the World Health Organisation, New York to the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Canada. This ensured that ACT Health achieved the objectives of a comprehensive talent engagement strategy. C-Suite Partners was successful in securing the interest of four leading Internationally acclaimed healthcare professionals.
Due to an efficient and effective management of a robust process, a merit-based appointment of the successful executive was achieved.
Within the context of this search, an international search-radius was critical to sourcing this placement and affording a diverse and credible selection of talent. This was particularly underlined by a limited Australian market for executive talent of this calibre and subsequently increased the need to lean on international networks. This search was successfully delivered in accordance with the agreed timeline.
