Diabetes Australia, this week, welcomes new Group CEO Justine Cain to her role. Ms Cain has more than two decades of senior executive experience within the health and human services sectors. Ms Cain’s experience includes executive management roles in Operations and Strategy for one of Australia’s largest health insurers, Director of Integration with a national assistive technology company within the Aged Care and Disability Sectors, as well as significant experience leading large scale national health services. Diabetes Australia Independent President and Board Chair Dr Michael Stanford AM said the organisation was excited to be able to attract a leader of Ms Cain’s caliber. “Justine has had a distinguished career leading complex organisations, including key business units of Medibank, as well as experience on the Board of Uniting Care Queensland and the Queensland Advisory Board for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. We believe her expertise will help drive Diabetes Australia forward,” Dr Stanford said. “Justine is a leader with the skills and strategic foresight to lead the organisation through its next chapter to become an even stronger, more unified and influential organisation supporting all people living with, or at risk of, diabetes.” Ms Cain’s major achievements with Medibank included winning and running the national $1.3 billion Garrison Health Services contract which provided the full range of health services for the Australian Defence Forces in Australia. Under her leadership the tender grew to $2 billion over the life of the contract.
