board. She brings a diverse range of experience across construction, law and healthcare which
will be highly relevant to the business while strengthening capability and expertise within the
board.”

Ms. Munnings originally started her career as a registered nurse before pursuing a legal career,
specialising in construction law and was a partner at global law firm, Baker McKenzie. She
then moved to Transfield in a Chief Risk & Legal Officer role before transitioning into
operational roles, eventually becoming Chief Executive – Operations for Broadspectrum

She is currently the chair of Digital Health CRC, an Australian government funded
organisation that invests in R&D to support the growth of digital healthcare as a means to
