Our Board
Felicity McNeill PSM
Felicity has extensive experience in Australia’s health regulatory and subsidy sector, including heading up the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, Life Saving Drugs Program, and special access schemes for oncology, diabetes and stoma.
She also lead the Office of Health Protection (public health, pandemic and communicable disease management) before being appointed as CEO of the Organ and Tissue Authority. She spent 12 years in the Department of Finance.
Today Felicity is the Managing Director of Perspicacité. She is a non-executive director at BTC health, on the Pricing Advisory Reference Group for the NDIS, and the board of the ACT Cemeteries and Crematoria.
COULD THIS BE YOU??
Our wonderful co-founder Helen Innes has taken on a new role that requires her to step down from her volunteer work at BAA at the end of July.
Helen was instrumental in our work on Newborn Screening and we will truly miss her wise counsel and independence from the health sector that allows her to continually remind us “it’s not like this elsewhere.”
Big shows to fill - but could it be you? Please contact Felicity or David if you think experience could help us help patients and clients of our social services systems.
