The reappointed members will continue to work alongside ongoing members David Gow, Cheryl Herbert, Ross Willims, Heather Watson, William Fellowes, Associate Professor Martin Byrne and Dr Simon Denny.
Ms Staib, who has served on the board since 2020, brings over 20 years of clinical and commercial experience, and currently serves the community through her role as the Chief Executive Officer of Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section).
Ms Cadigan has worked with the Children’s Health Queensland Hospital and Health Board since 2019 and offers an extensive range of knowledge through 45 years of experience working as a paediatric and critical care nurse in hospitals across Australia.
Ms Hogan has brought her background of engagement and media to the board since 2019, with her current role seeing her discuss critical Indigenous issues as a co-host on the popular ‘Let’s Talk’ podcast.
Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Yvette D’Ath said she was excited to see the three women continue to contribute their knowledge to the board.
“Ms Staib, Ms Cadigan and Ms Hogan have all made an immense contribution to the board and have proudly advocated for children across the state,” Ms D’Ath said.
