Expression of Interest: VHA International Leadership Study Tour (2027/2028)

Overview: The Victorian Healthcare Association (VHA) is exploring future leadership study tour opportunities for Victorian public healthcare CEOs and Board Directors. These tours provide meaningful opportunities to connect with peers, explore innovative approaches to healthcare leadership and service delivery, and identify practical learnings that can be translated into the Victorian public healthcare context.

This short survey will help us understand sector interest, preferred topics, destinations, formats and priorities to inform future program design.

Duration: Estimated survey completion time is 5 minutes
Deadline: The deadline for Expressions of Interest is 11.59pm Sunday 5 July
Note: Submitting an EOI does not signal a commitment to participating, but rather supports program design
