We’re delighted to introduce Professor Megan O’Shannessy as the new Chair of the Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN Board.

Megan is the Chief Executive Officer of Rural Medical Education Australia and a Professor at Griffith University School of Medicine and Dentistry. Across a career spanning three decades in rural health, she has led services as a Director of Nursing and Hospital Manager.

She is currently a non-executive director on the board of the Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN, the board of Country Universities Centre (CUC) Central and President of Protea Place in Toowoomba, with prior service on the Medical Board of Australia (Queensland) and the Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service Board. She is a registered nurse and midwife, holds a Master of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and a graduate of the AICD.

Megan brings a deep understanding of our communities and a true commitment to rural health.

Thank you, Megan - we’re excited about what we’ll achieve together.

Today we say thank you to Dr Tony Bayliss as he completes his tenure as Chair of the Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN Board.

Tony joined the Board in 2017 and has been Chair since 2019. In that time he led with steadiness and genuine care, and never lost sight of the people at the centre of every decision. Because of his leadership, our PHN is well placed to keep doing its work for our communities.

Tony is also a GP who has practised in the Ipswich area since 2012 and opened his own practice in 2015. He has brought real-world clinical experience to every Board conversation, along with his skills in governance, finance and strategy, and a lasting passion for improving the health of our region.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved together and grateful for the legacy he leaves. The good news is we’ll still be working closely with Tony, as a system leader and as a valued local GP.

General practices and healthcare organisations are increasingly targeted by cyber threats, but a few simple and quick actions can make a big difference:
✅ Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA)
✅ Help staff recognise phishing scams
✅ Keep software updated
✅ Regularly back up patient data

This Queensland Mental Health Week, let's take a moment to check in, reach out and make space for meaningful conversations.

Connection and belonging play an important role in our wellbeing, and small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Whether it's checking in with a colleague, friend, family member or neighbour, taking the time to connect helps strengthen the communities around us.

And while it's important to support others, don't forget to pause and ask yourself how you're doing too. Taking care of your own wellbeing is just as important! 💛
