NSW Health Leadership Program

The NSW Health Leadership Program (HLP) is an organisational development intervention supporting an organisation’s strategic transformation initiative.

Participants work on strategic challenges while they develop their capacity to collaborate, consider multiple perspectives and adaptively lead, regardless of their positional level or authority.

The Program is underpinned by the five Leadership Domains in the NSW Health Leadership and Management Framework, designed as a catalyst for developmental change in individuals and as a scaffold for the construction of new forms of leadership in health care organisations. Accompanying these domains are the core concepts of adaptive, collective, and relational leadership.
