Strategic and Operational Leader
The appointment of Sue Sestan
Inspiro
Strategic and Operational Leader

The organisation
Inspiro was founded in 1995 after the amalgamation of Mooroolbark and Sherbrooke Community Health Centres under the name of Ranges Community Health (the name Inspiro used to go by) with only 6 staff. In 2000 the purpose-built centre in Clarke Street, Lilydale was opened and in 2012 Ranges Community Health officially changed its name to Inspiro in response to community feedback. With a staff of more than 100, they expanded to Belgrave in 2017. The Belgrave Community Hub allows locals to access essential health services from the clinic on premises, as well as Yarra Ranges Council services like Maternal and Child Health Nursing, and other important services all in the one expansive and comfortable building.
The brief
The Board of Inspiro Community Health Service engaged Brooker Consulting to undertake a comprehensive executive search to support the organisation to recruit a strong strategic and operational leader to lead their high performing community service based in the Victorian Yarra Valley.
The process
Brooker Consulting undertook a comprehensive executive search campaign, combined with print media, to identify and present the very best available candidates for consideration.
The outcome
After a rigorous assessment process, the Board opted to interview four of the candidates presented for shortlisting purposes., of which Sue Sestan was the standout candidate, with the Board later confirming Sue as their new CEO.
Brooker Consulting has been working with the Board to support the organisation to recruit a Non-Executive Director. The notable calibre of candidates has impressed the Sub-Committee, and two appointments have ensued.
