Chief Executive

Awabakal .

As a for­mer senior exec­u­tive at NSW Health Pathol­o­gy, Vanes­sa Janis­sen brings a wealth of expe­ri­ence and a proven track record in pub­lic and pri­vate health services.

Vanes­sa held a num­ber of lead­er­ship posi­tions at Cal­vary Health­care, most recent­ly as the Nation­al Direc­tor, Strat­e­gy and Ser­vice Devel­op­ment lead­ing their growth strat­e­gy across hos­pi­tal, aged care, com­mu­ni­ty and vir­tu­al care services.

She was also NSW Health Pathology’s Exec­u­tive Direc­tor Strat­e­gy and Clin­i­cal Ser­vices Trans­for­ma­tion between 2013 and 2019. Pri­or to that she held mul­ti­ple oper­a­tional roles in Hunter New Eng­land Local Health District.

Her exper­tise in strat­e­gy, plan­ning, dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion, and ded­i­ca­tion to enhanc­ing human-cen­tered care will strength­en NSW Health Pathology’s posi­tion as a lead­ing pathol­o­gy and foren­sic ser­vice provider for the peo­ple of NSW.
