Virtual Address with the Hon. Ged Kearney MP, Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care

ACCI hosted a Virtual Health Address with the Hon. Gerardine (Ged) Kearney, Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care. The minister updated members as to the goals her department has put in place to align with the Labor government’s election commitments. The key theme throughout the minister’s update centred on equity and access, women’s health and bias in the healthcare sector. Referencing September’s Jobs and Skills Summit, Minister Kearney also pushed forward her department’s vision around the scope of practice for all workforce practitioners.

ACCI thanks the minister for her time and extends its gratitude to ACCI Board members Karyn Sobels, President of VCCI, and Daniel Hunter, CEO, Business NSW. Thank you to Craig Brock from Accord, Elizabeth de Somer Somer from Medicines Australia and ACCI’s Jennifer Low and John Hart for their questions, and Samantha Read GAICD FRACI BEng (Hons) from Chemistry Australia for moving the Vote of Thanks.
