Defence Health announces that former CEO, Joanne Kadlecik has passed away
It is with much sadness, that I advise that our former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Joanne Kadlecik has passed away.
Joanne Kadlecik, was diagnosed with a serious medical condition in August 2023 and undertook a period of leave for treatment. In March this year Joanne informed the Board that due to health reasons she had to resign from the position.
Joanne was an outstanding leader, an asset to our organisation and a wonderful person, who will be sadly missed by her colleagues and many friends in the industry.
We hope Joanne’s family finds comfort in knowing her spirit lives on through the lives she touched, the legacy she created and the memories they made with her.
On behalf of the Board, Executive Committee and all our employees, we extend our deepest sympathies to her family.
Robin Burns
Chair
