Executive Employment Policy
Version 3.0 approved 06 December 2023
The Executive Employment Policy (PDF 348KB) provides the mandatory requirements to facilitate a coordinated and consistent approach to SA Health executive employment that is transparent, fair and equitable. The quality and performance of an executive is a significant factor for the success of the government’s programs provided by agencies.
The selection, employment, and development of an executive by the Chief Executive or delegate are a major investment by government, requiring careful consideration at all stages of agency planning and in the employment cycle of the individual executive.
Applicability
This policy applies to executive employment across SA Health, that is, all executives of the Department for Health and Wellbeing (DHW), Local Health Networks (LHNs) including state-wide services aligned with those Networks and SA Ambulance Service (SAAS).
