Leadership, Innovation, Networks and Knowledge (LINK)
Leadership is about people and LINK in Health is about developing leaders who drive care, reform and innovation.
LINK in Health
- builds the capability of our existing leaders in health and prepares our future leaders
- creates a culture of innovation by changing how leaders think
- creates networks to help leaders support each other and share knowledge.
Connected people make the system work
The LINK in Health program was developed in response to research commissioned by the former Victorian Health Service Management and Innovation Council (VHSMIC). The research indicated a need for leadership development targeting specific levels and a leadership capability framework to underpin leadership development for public sector health staff in Victoria.
LINK in Health is the department of Health’s flagship leadership program for the State’s publicly funded health services.
The department is proud to support the LINK in Health Leadership framework and development model.
The LINK in Health program is managed by the Health Service Reform and Innovation Unit. The Unit sets direction for reform and innovation work to align policies, programs and reform activities for health services.
Target groups
LINK in Health encompasses leadership development strategies tailored specifically for health sector staff who have the ambition and drive to be better leaders.
The four target programs and groups are:
- Executive LINK - developing health executive leadership
- Strategic LINK - enhancing CEO Leadership
- Critical LINK- fostering leadership in senior clinicians and managers
- Vital LINK- engaging our potential health leaders.
Executive LINK is a unique 9 month program tailored specifically for public health sector executives who aspire to a CEO role, or wish to challenge and develop themselves in their current role.
- Applications for the 2012 Executive LINK Program will open on 12 September.
Currently only the Executive LINK program has detailed information available; updates to the other programs will be published here when available.
