Background

About Kate Wilkinson

I'm a management consultant specialising in strategy, policy and stakeholder engagement. Do you need help seeking meaningful input from stakeholders, building your relationship with government, planning the future priorities of your business or team, or developing policy? I'd love to work with you to achieve your goals. I specialise in health system, policy and program reform aimed at improving health outcomes, particularly for marginalised groups facing health inequities. I have extensive experience in strategic business planning, policy development, program management, stakeholder consultation and government relations. I have a collaborative approach and authentic communication style; I thrive on fostering connections and navigating organisational and political landscapes to achieve common goals. I focus on innovation and improvement, demonstrated by my track record in initiating and leading projects that have had lasting positive impact. I understand the Australian health system—its funding, legislative, policy and operational contexts, political sensitivities, and intergovernmental processes. I have in-depth knowledge in the areas of cancer screening programs and HPV immunisation. I primarily undertake small to medium size projects. For larger projects, or where additional expertise or resources are required, I have a network of associates. Other consultants are invited to engage me to provide my specialty areas of expertise in their projects.
