Our Chief Officers

SA Health has six chief officers that support and advise in key areas of clinical, scientific, public health or allied health services:

• Chief Allied and Scientific Health Advisor
• Chief Medical Officer and Chief Public Health Officer
• Chief Nurse and Midwifery Officer
• Chief Pharmacist
• Chief Psychiatrist

The chief officers are the professional link between the Minister for Health, the Chief Executive for Health and health professionals employed by SA Health. At times, being a spokesperson to the SA community on clinical, scientific, public health or allied health related issues for SA Health is also a part of their role.
