Assistant Secretary, Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care
Krista Vanderheide
I am an experienced government executive with a passion for social policy. I recently took my years of experience in state government to the Commonwealth Department of Health as Assistant Secretary, System Enablers in the Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Division.
Working in the mental health policy space, and as a parent of young children, I am a leader who tries to ‘walk the talk’ by creating working environments that value diversity, empathy and flexibility.
