The plan, with its defined goals and objectives, supports the health and wellbeing of all Victorians and builds capability as a quaternary teaching hospital and international health and medical research centre.

Paul has had an extensive career in the Victorian public health system, including executive and senior management roles in the Victorian Department of Health (now Health and Human Services) in regional and program management, and in disability services. His interests include health system and service planning and management and, particularly, the intersection of primary health care and acute hospital services. Paul has been a Board director on a variety of non-government organisations in the health and human services fields.
