About the Council

The Victorian Health Service Management Innovation Council is a ministerial advisory committee created on recommendation from the 2003 Victorian Public Hospital Governance Reform Panel. It was established to draw together the operational expertise to deliver improvements to health service governance and operational management. These improvements will be achieved through developing system-wide priority projects and facilitating collaborative action.

The council’s establishment is an acknowledgement of management innovation as a key plank in providing high quality, cost effective health services to all Victorians.

Focusing on innovation and change management, the Victorian Health Service Management Innovation Council will develop and lead a program of work aimed at achieving significant system-wide improvements in the operational effectiveness and efficiency of public health services.

The Management Innovation Council is made up of a diverse range of professionals from across the Victorian health care sector including Board Chairs, Chief Executive Officers, clinician managers and Department of Human Services representatives.
