Victorian Health Leadership Network (VHLNet) 

With an initial focus on supporting the implementation of the Health LEADS Victoria Leadership Capability Framework, the VHLNet provides a practical platform for collaboration, shared learning and applied implementation.

The role of the VHLNet 

VHLNet supports sector-wide leadership development by: 

  • Facilitating greater organisational commitment to leadership development through the adoption and implementation of Health LEADS Victoria  
  • Creating a Community of Practice focused on enhancing health leadership through the practical implementation of Health LEADS Victoria  
  • Modelling and promoting a culture of learning and knowledge exchange on leadership initiatives  
  • Sharing case studies, insights and lessons from real-world application
