Biography
A journalist in electronic and print media before qualifying as a doctor and subsequently as a public health physician with specialty qualifications in medical leadership and management. Rosemary has extensive experience in public health and health services planning, delivery, management, policy, research, teaching, governance, workforce development, and clinician and consumer engagement. Underpinning all roles Rosemary has sought to support people working in health systems to do their best to provide high quality services to those who seek care. Rosemary’s research has examined how language is used to characterise groups as deserving or undeserving, and how a health system can best serve the most vulnerable in our community. Rosemary moved to Victoria in 2017 to take up her position at Ballarat Health Services, and is looking forward to experiencing four seasons (possibly all in one day).
