About the Institute for Healthy Leadership
Enhancing leadership effectiveness and ensuring that there are excellent leaders at all levels of the health system are fundamental components of healthcare and healthcare improvement. WA Health’s ongoing commitment to leadership and leadership development was marked in July 2007 with the launch of the Institute for Healthy Leadership.
The Institute will build existing leadership programs to further develop leadership capacity within WA Health and will be an integral element of the reform process, working closely with those leading service innovation and clinical service redesign.
The Institute will follow the direction set out in the Healthy Leadership Strategic Framework (PDF 249KB), released in November 2006. This Framework builds on the core principles and values of leadership development, outlined in the WA Health Strategic Intent 2005-2010.
"Creating an environment that identifies, nurtures and promotes strong leadership at all levels within health care services and the community is vital to the effectiveness of the health system into the future. A focus will be on recognising, developing and supporting our leaders in order to create a superior health care service and ensure that all strategic directions move forward." WA Health Strategic Intent 2005 – 2010
