The RANZCP is pleased to announce the appointment of Professor Andrew Way AM as Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective 9 December. Professor Way will succeed Sharon McGowan AM, who is stepping down from the role to pursue the next chapter in her career.

We extend our sincere thanks to Sharon for her passion, energy and commitment to advancing our vision. Her leadership has been greatly valued, and we wish her the very best for her future endeavours.

Professor Way brings a wealth of experience to his new role, having served as the former Chief Executive of Alfred Health. He is highly regarded for his leadership in health, health research, and non-executive board roles. Notably, Professor Way led the development of Monash Partners, Victoria’s first Academic Health Science Centre, and was appointed as an Adjunct Clinical Professor in the School of Public Health and Preventative Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University in 2015.

In addition to his senior leadership roles, Professor Way holds several non-executive and advisory roles both in Australia and internationally. His professional interest in quality and safety in patient care, the development of academic medical organisations, patient flow and experience, and using IT as a clinical enabler will be valuable assets to the College as he takes on this important role.

The College extends a warm welcome to Professor Way and looks forward to working with him to achieve our vision.
