The Health Roundtable Team

The Health Roundtable is a virtual organisation without bricks and mortar or staff.  Instead, the Board of Directors has negotiated a contract with an external management firm - Chappell Dean Pty Limited - to handle the day-to-day management and support of this collaborative program of activities.  The contract is reviewed every year, and the Board has the option to change or add suppliers as the need arises.

Chappell Dean, in turn, supplies a network of talented people to support The Health Roundtable.  Some are direct employees, while others work as independent contractors who devote a portion of their professional time to supporting our work.  All are part of a dedicated team who strive to help you improve the effectiveness and efficiency of patient care.
