Monash Health is a great place to work

Monash Health is Victoria’s largest and most comprehensive health service. For more than 170 years, Monash Health and its predecessors have provided safe, high-quality healthcare and service for people at every life stage.

As the fundraising arm of Monash Health, the Monash Health Foundation drives and develops philanthropic support so we can achieve more for the people, families and communities we care for. 

This senior leadership role represents our organisation with senior stakeholders including philanthropists, corporate partners and internal leaders, clinicians and other stakeholders.   

About You 

A strategic thinker with a depth of professional leadership experience and sound judgment, you have significant experience in a senior fundraising role, overseeing the full range of fundraising, related marketing and advocacy activities. Your proven ability to build and develop strong relationships with discretion has seen you lead and grow successful fundraising campaigns. Together with demonstrated problem solving and analysis skills, you possess high level communication and negotiation skills, enabling you to liaise and negotiate comfortably with internal, corporate and community key stakeholders. Knowledge of the Victorian public health system may be an advantage, but this can also be learned. What’s more important is the new Director will be excited to build on the great work that has gone on before them and to lead a positive and proactive team to new heights.   

About the Role  

Reporting to the Chief of People & Philanthropy, the Director, Monash Health Foundation has direct responsibility for driving the Foundation’s strategic priorities and objectives and achieving exceptional outcomes. If appointed, you will lead a team of more than 20 people to: 

• Generate and implement new ideas for growth in philanthropy revenue and reputation; and 

• Develop, deliver and maintain both Monash Health Foundation's long term strategic plan and annual fundraising strategy to achieve agreed objectives and fundraising targets.  

We will look to you to: 

• Use your strategic planning skills and creativity to expand our opportunities for the future; 

• Bring your specialist expertise in strategic fundraising to support the implementation of successful campaigns;  

• Consistently deliver to meet deadlines and targets, even when under pressure; and   

• Demonstrate a strong work ethic, team focus and ‘can do’ approach.  

You will also ensure that each team member feels supported in their development and growth and is on track to meet their goals. 2025 promises to be a great year. With the support and encouragement of the Executive team and Board of Directors, and the talent of a high performing team, this is an opportunity to shine.
