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.
