She works with governments on the design and implementation of major reforms across aged care, disability and health systems. Her work focuses on pricing and funding models, market stewardship, provider sustainability and large-scale transformation programs.
Melinda works closely with providers, investors and boards to navigate reform, and adapt to changing policy, funding and operating environments to deliver quality care sustainably.
With over 20 years’ experience, Melinda is recognised for translating policy intent into delivery. She brings a strong understanding of how systems operate in practice, and how to align incentives, funding and service models to deliver sustainable outcomes.

How is Melinda building a better working world?
Having worked closely with governments and care providers, I see firsthand the complexity of delivering meaningful reform. Building a better working world means bridging policy and delivery - ensuring that reforms are grounded in how systems actually operate, and that they create lasting impact for people who rely on them.
