This new role will report to the Acting Regional Executive Director Mater Health SEQ and will be responsible for the leadership and management of Mater Hospital Brisbane, as well as acting as the lead coordinator and advisor within Mater Health on key public service projects and planning across Mater Queensland.

As an accomplished health professional, Paula has 27 years of clinical experience and extensive knowledge and expertise in health service planning, innovation, improvement and engagement.

During her time at Metro South, Paula has been responsible for the establishment of a range of clinical redesign initiatives and will bring valuable skills to the Mater Health leadership team.
