Governance

NSW Regional Health Partners is guided by strong leadership, an inclusive culture and a commitment to collaboration across partner organisations. Our governance structure (as shown above) includes:

• A Governing Board comprised of the Chief Executives and Vice Chancellors of partner organisation. The Governing Board sets local priorities and approves involvement in state and national initiatives.
• The Governing Board is supported by an advisory Translation Committee, comprised of senior research and clinical executives for each partner.
• The Translation Committee oversees Translation Working Groups to implement translational initiatives endorsed by the Governing Board at national, state and local levels.

The Director is the principal accountable executive officer of the CIRH and will support the Chair, the Governing Board and the Executive groups to achieve its objectives, financial sustainability, reputation and influence of the partnership. The Director represents the CIRH on the Australian Health Research Alliance. All nine Translational Research Centres work together in this alliance.
