Extension for hospital board applications


Victorian Health Minister David Davis has extended the deadline for applications to part time board chair and director positions of public health services, Ambulance Victoria, and rural public hospitals.

"Many Victorians who may have been considering making an application may have had their plans disrupted because of the devastating floods in many parts of the state," Mr Davis said.

"To ensure as many people as possible take up this opportunity, the closing date for applications has been extended from tomorrow until Wednesday, March 2.

Mr Davis said the current call for applications is for terms of office commencing 1 July 2011.

There are 18 public health services, made up of 12 metropolitan and 6 regional services.

In regional Victoria there are 64 local hospitals, including 7 multi purpose services.

"These positions provide an exciting opportunity for suitably qualified and experienced people to contribute and provide high level advice on the delivery of public health care to the Victorian community," Mr Davis said.

"The Ballieu Coalition Government is committed to ensuring that government boards and committees reflect the composition of the Victorian community.

"This includes appropriate representation of women, indigenous Victorians, young Victorians, Victoria's culturally diverse community and Victorians living with a disability," Mr Davis said.
