Felicity commenced as Chief Executive of Peninsula Health in February 2018, following a career in healthcare that commenced more than 35 years ago.
She describes her professional achievements as exceeding all expectations. Felicity was among the first nursing graduates to gain a Diploma in Applied Science in Nursing from Lincoln Institute, rather than undertaking her nursing training through the more traditional hospital-based program.
After completing her critical care nursing qualification at Royal Melbourne Hospital in the early 1990s, Felicity travelled to Saudi Arabia, just after the Gulf War, to work as a manager in an intensive care unit at one of the large hospitals on the east coast. While there, she undertook a degree course in nursing via correspondence. Such courses were new at the time, and being pre-email and internet, course materials and assignments were posted, and contact with lecturers was through long-distance landline calls. It was made all the more challenging if course materials were censored through the Saudi postal system.
Returning to Australia in the late '90s, Felicity started work as a clinical nurse consultant in the ICU at Royal Melbourne Hospital, completed a Graduate Diploma in Health Counselling at Victoria University, then a Master of Public Health at Monash University, graduating in 2002. It was during this time that she moved into executive health management. Her previous roles have included Operations Director at Royal Melbourne Hospital, Executive Director Medical Services at Barwon Health in Geelong, and Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Chief Executive at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
In her current role as Chief Executive of Peninsula Health, she oversees 7,500 staff and leads the development and execution of Peninsula Health's long-term strategy and organisational goals. She is also a non-executive director for HealthShare Victoria.
Professor Mark Frydenberg was awarded the Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 1990, and then completed a formal clinical urological oncology fellowship at the Mayo Clinic, Minnesota, USA.
Upon return to Australia he was appointed as a urologist at Monash Health and the Royal Melbourne Hospital, and in 1997 was promoted to Associate Professor in the Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, and also became the Chairman of the Department of Urology, Monash Health, a position he held until 2017. He currently holds Professorial positions within the Department of Surgery, Faculty of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, and the School of Public Health and Preventative Medicine, at Monash University.
Professor Frydenberg has been involved in many leadership roles within Australia, and is a past president and current board member of the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand (USANZ). He is a member of the Council of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and is the Chair of the Health Policy and Advocacy Committee. He also holds the position of the Academic Chair of Urology, Cabrini Institute, Cabrini Health.
