Over the past six months, my involvement in the Women in Digital Health Leadership Program has been a wellspring of inspiration, fueling my anticipation to share my experiences and make a meaningful contribution to the current healthcare landscape through digital leadership.

As Charles Darwin aptly noted, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one most responsive to change,” and in the realm of healthcare, digital technology and interoperability hold the promise of being a catalyst for transformative change.

Extending my heartfelt gratitude to Natalie Collard, Eimer Boyle and Kristal Kitto for their invaluable guidance and support. To the Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH) for the amazing opportunity and to the remarkable women who made up the second cohort and graduated with me.

My sincere thanks GPEx (SA) for the encouragement and support and, in particular to Kathryn Presser AM, Stephanie Clota, my family and friends.

Being part of this year’s cohort has truly been an honour. Am grateful to Natalie Collard, Eimer Boyle and Kristal Kitto, Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH) for their invaluable dedication to our growth as a group of Women Leaders. Appreciate all the wonderful women who played a crucial role with me in this journey, making it a wholesome and enriching experience.

Life Changing. If you have the opportunity to participate in the program, DO IT!

I recently had the pleasure of participating in the Women in Digital Health Leadership course run by the Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH). More than a typical learning experience, this six-month brought together 27 like-minded women, each bringing our own unique perspectives, experiences, and aspirations.

Every session was a revelation, not just because of the content but because of the passionate discussions, shared stories, and the collective wisdom of women determined to make a mark in digital health. There was a tangible sense of togetherness, and every interaction felt like both a learning opportunity and a moment of connection.

My gratitude extends to Kristal Kitto and the Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH) for organising and Eimer Boyle and Natalie Collard who crafted such an enriching environment and the amazing women I met. Through our conversations and collaborations, I’ve grown – in knowledge, confidence, and in my network of incredible professionals.

As I reflect on this experience, I’m reminded of the power of community. Thank you, each of you touched me and helped me grow. I am genuinely excited for our continued journeys and the paths we will carve in the digital health landscape.

The learning journey continues, as it should throughout life! 27 amazing women from different paths in digital health shared the last 6 months on a journey learning about ourselves, listening and using our voices with courage to influence, manage change and make a difference in digital health! ‘Be yourself, everyone else is taken’ Oscar Wilde!

The last six months shared with an amazing group of women from across Australia with one common goal “Leading and transforming Digital Healthcare”

We engaged in this journey with vulnerability and all graduated today with a rich network of remarkable women, friends and change makers dedicated to not only transforming health but its culture, workforce and addressing inequity in health communities.

Thank you to Natalie Collard, Eimer Boyle, and Kristal Kitto for an amazing coaching experience and program and to my leaders at eHealth NSW Simon James and Kerry-Anne Baxter MAICD for your continued support on my journey.

The WiDHL is a great opportunity to connect and learn from other leaders working in the digital health ecosystem. I loved the diversity and range of experiences shared by all participants. The program is delivered in a supportive environment to reflect on your own personal leadership journey to date and allows you to get specific on what comes next for you.

I would recommend the program to women who want to deeply explore their strengths and create a unique leadership vision and a supporting development plan that they can action. The program is run by amazing facilitators and grounded by likeminded women who have a passion to make positive change and contribute to the often complex but deeply rewarding digital health sector.

Yes! Graduated today alongside 27 amazing women as part of a national leadership program for #WomenInDigitalHealth run by the Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH). 🎓👩‍💻

These 6 months have been challenging and I must thank this group of women who have inspired and encouraged me to continue to step up and out courageously to lead with our strengths. The room I sat in today was filled with superstars that will continue to lead the digital transformation of healthcare…. and having journeyed together, I know the future is in good hands! ✨

Thank you for this opportunity and thank you Kristal Kitto, Eimer Boyle and Natalie Collard for navigating us through this journey.

These last six months have been challenging, and I am grateful to be able to return to my origin story and refine my leadership vision through the support of inspiring mentors Eimer Boyle Natalie Collard and fellow participants. I am thankful for the genuine connections I have built with like-minded women. Thank you for walking this path with me. Here’s to embracing “What Now” and stepping into the future! 💪🚀

A huge shoutout to Kristal Kitto for your dedicated efforts in coordinating this program.

Happy to share my Graduation from the Women in Digital Health Leadership Program by Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH)!

An amazing privilege to have completed the Women in Digital Health Leadership program with this brilliant cohort of 27 extraordinary women leaders!

It was a transformative journey of learning, connecting and growing together. I look forward to continuing our conversations and collaborations, as we strive to navigate and lead the exciting world of digital health…

Thank you to Kristal Kitto, Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH) and our coaches Natalie Collard and Eimer Boyle, and the fantastic mentors for making this happen.

Thank you Michael Franco for being a great mentor in my digital health journey.

Firstly, this was a very organised program to learn from expert facilitators, mentors, and peers. The group was so diverse with skills and experiences in digital health, that we all had the opportunity to learn and grow. The course outline was a fine balance of theory and practice of leadership, with the opportunity to share experiences and also have private professional coaching. This course moved me, it changed the way I perceived myself and gave me a greater understanding of the innate strengths I have as a leader. I had the opportunity to meet 26 other very talented women and collectively can influence change as leaders in digital health. We all encouraged each other, shared personal and professional stories and learned from the extremely talented facilitators through a well-designed and structured course.
