Former Victorian Member of Parliament The Hon Lisa Neville has been announced as the new Chair of the Barwon Health Board.
Ms Neville previously served as a director on the Board and briefly held the Board Chair position before her election as State Member for Bellarine in 2002.
Up until her retirement from Parliament last year, Ms Neville held ministerial roles in Mental Health, Aged Care, Emergency Services, Environment and Climate Change, and Police and Water.
