Jane has worked in the health care sector for 20 years, and prior to this, she worked across several industries, from large corporates to running a small family business. Her health roles span practice management, program management, pharmaceutical sales and management and leadership.
Jane has a long-standing history with general practice and GPs in Western Sydney through her role with the Division of General Practice and many years working in the Pharmaceutical Medical Devices sector.
Jane joined WentWest in 2016 as the Primary Care Quality Improvement Manager, leading the Practice Development Team whose primary objective is partnering with general practice to build capacity and capability, and driving practice transformation on the ground.
Five years ago, Jane moved into the Director of Primary Care Transformation and Integration role to lead a portfolio that spans General Practice and Residential Aged Care transformation, Collaborative Commissioning, Partnerships and Population Health and Strategic Priorities. She has been integral in the evolution of our approach to building and supporting Neighbourhood Health Hubs by fostering integration and collaboration across the sector and connecting community, general practice, residential aged care facilities, allied health providers, community pharmacy, commissioned providers, community health and acute services.
Jane has long been committed to driving primary care transformation and is particularly excited by the recent investment in primary care reform. Now is a significant time for primary care, and Jane realises the time is now to influence and strive for meaningful change in the system to improve health outcomes for the people of Western Sydney.
