Private Health Chief Executive Officer Forum

The Private Health Chief Executive Officer Forum (CEO Forum) has been established to identify and develop short and medium-term options to support the sector’s long-term sustainability so that it can continue to serve the health care needs of Australian patients.

Role

The role of the CEO Forum is to bring together leaders from private hospitals, health insurers, health care providers, independent experts, a consumer advocate, and a representative of the states and territories to: 

  • share information and insights on the sector’s current operating environment 
  • identify and consider short and medium-term proposals to contribute to improving the sector’s sustainability
  • facilitate consultation and communications with sector stakeholders. 

The CEO Forum will progress the work started through the Private Hospital Sector Financial Health Check.
