Country SA PHN welcomes new CEO

In 2020 Country SA PHN Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Kim Hosking, notified the Board that he would be retiring toward the end of his current term of office. Since that time, the Board has worked with Kim toward identifying: the requisite knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experience for a new CEO; the individual to best lead our team into the future; and the ideal succession process.

"I am very pleased to announce that Mark Hartigan has been offered and accepted the role of Country SA PHN’s CEO, effective 1 July 2022" said Dr Simon Lockwood Chair of the Board.

"Mark has been Deputy CEO of Country SA PHN and Country North SA Medicare Local for the past eight years. Mark has had previous CEO experience of another organisation, and very importantly wide experience in business management and other activities across country South Australia."

"After an extensive review of our service needs, the necessary capacity of the new CEO to meet the demands of our region and our vision for the ongoing CEO role, the Board is very confident that Mark will well manage ongoing operations and provide dynamic and positive leadership and vision." said Simon
