Hunter New England Local Health District is seeking a highly experienced and strategic Chief Risk Officer (CRO) to lead and strengthen our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) capability across the District.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape organisational risk culture, influence strategic decision-making, and drive system-wide improvements that support safe, effective, and innovative healthcare delivery.

About the Role

As the CRO, you will provide expert leadership in the development, execution, and oversight of Hunter New England Health's Enterprise Risk Management Framework, ensuring it aligns with organisational priorities and supports the delivery of high-quality services.

You will act as a trusted advisor to the Executive, delivering specialist risk insights that enhance organisational readiness, support informed decision-making, and align with the Board’s risk appetite and tolerance.

Key Responsibilities include

Provide specialist risk management advice to Executive and senior leadership, supporting strategic planning and operational decision-making.
Enable the organisation to identify, assess and manage risks and opportunities, supporting successful program and service delivery outcomes.
Lead enterprise-wide risk strategy development, ensuring alignment with corporate and clinical governance priorities.
Support the early planning of major initiatives, embedding a strong risk culture and influencing policy and program design.
Develop and implement frameworks, strategies and processes to mitigate risks and achieve organisational objectives.
Oversee and safeguard the enterprise risk management program, including comprehensive risk identification and evaluation.

Strategic Focus (Initial Priorities)

The CRO will play a critical role in advancing the districts risk maturity, with an initial focus on:

Aligning Corporate Governance with Clinical Quality & Patient Care Framework principles

Implementing a single, integrated enterprise risk register across clinical and corporate portfolios

Maturing the application of risk appetite and tolerance, embedding these concepts across the organisation

About You

You are a strategic and collaborative leader with:
Extensive experience in enterprise risk management, governance, or a related discipline
Demonstrated ability to influence executive decision-making and drive organisational change
Strong understanding of risk frameworks, systems, and culture-building
Experience working within complex organisations, ideally in the health or public sector
Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills

Why Join Us?

At HNELHD, you will have the opportunity to contribute to a forward-thinking organisation committed to delivering safe, high-quality healthcare. You will play a pivotal role in strengthening organisational resilience and supporting innovation across the District.

As part of your application, please upload an updated resume and a cover letter addressing the questions below:

Describe your experience developing or maintaining an enterprise risk register. How did you ensure risks were identified, assessed, monitored and escalated appropriately across different portfolios?
Describe your experience working with corporate governance, clinical governance, quality, safety or patient care frameworks. How have you aligned risk management practices with broader organisational priorities?
What do you see as the key challenges and opportunities in strengthening enterprise risk management within a large public health organisation such as Hunter New England Local Health District?

What you'll be doing

The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) leads and oversees risk management across Hunter New England Local Health District (HNELHD). This includes developing and managing the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and ensuring risk management supports the effective use of public funds.
The CRO advises the Executive team on risks and opportunities, helping them make informed decisions that align with the Board’s risk tolerance. They also support planning and delivery of programs by identifying risks and strategies to manage them.
The CRO guides risk assessment, analysis, and reporting, and helps develop processes to reduce risks that could affect organisational goals. They regularly report to the Board and Sub Committees, the Executive Leadership Team, the District Risk & Compliance Governance Committee (RCGC), and other groups, providing insights into key risks and trends across the organisation.
The role also involves working closely with the Chief Executive and Executive Directors to ensure risk management is integrated across their portfolios and projects. The CRO is involved early in major projects to encourage strong risk practices from the start and to help shape policies and planning.
