Ren Cazar was a recent recipient of our scholarship to complete Leadership Victoria’s Igniting Leadership Program. Reflecting on his experience, Ren shared how valuable the group learning dynamic was in creating a space to examine his own leadership skills and build his capabilities.

“Being in a room with leaders from across sectors who were asking the same hard questions reminded me that the work of leadership isn’t something you finish – it’s something you keep choosing.”

Thanks to Leadership Victoria for supporting VHA members to continue their leadership journeys.

This week Leigh Clarke (CEO) and Amelia Condi (GM – Policy & Advocacy) were pleased to attend the Primary Care Conference in Canberra, hosted by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.

Over 370 primary care leaders from Primary Health Networks, academia, peak bodies, government, consumers and subject matter experts came together to explore the theme ‘Primary Care Teams: Integrating Collaboration, Policy and Technology’.

They heard from many experienced speakers with the common message being the importance of collaboration extending beyond ‘care teams’.

A strong, supported and well-funded primary care sector is essential to ensure Victorians can access care close to home and reduce pressure on acute services.
