About us

At the Victorian Department of Health we want a future where Victorians are the healthiest people in the world. A Victoria where our children and people thrive, our workplaces are productive and secure, and our communities are more connected.

You are an accomplished procurement and commercial leader with experience leading specialist teams and overseeing complex sourcing and contracting portfolios. You combine strategic thinking and sound commercial judgement with a detailed understanding of Victorian Government procurement, financial, governance and probity requirements. You can establish and improve operating models, governance arrangements and portfolio management approaches, rather than simply administering existing processes. You are comfortable advising senior executives, leading complex negotiations and influencing stakeholders with competing priorities. You bring a future-focused approach to contract lifecycle planning, commercial visibility, and value generation, while maintaining a strong commitment to integrity, collaboration and public sector outcomes.
