Katherine Platt

As the Head of Clinical and Service Governance for one of Australia's largest aged care providers, I lead and manage a team to ensure that quality care systems (including incidents, feedback, quality and risk) are implemented and sustained for all our aged care services; being community, residential and retirement living.  

I have developed skilled expertise in complex complaint management and investigation into severe incidents requiring root cause analyses and open disclosure processes.  

I have been a registered nurse for over 25 years and although am passionate about quality systems and healthy ageing, I also love public health and following completion of my Masters in Public Health have worked in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and tobacco control.
