Damian Green

Board director, senior advisor and former Deputy Director-General with deep experience in governance, digital transformation, corporate services and health system reform

Damian Green is a board director, senior advisor and former Deputy Director-General with extensive experience leading complex public-purpose organisations through reform, transformation and performance improvement.

He has held senior system-level roles in Queensland Health, including Deputy Director-General responsibilities for corporate services and statewide digital transformation. As Deputy Director-General and CIO of eHealth Queensland, he led the state’s largest ICT organisation and oversaw a $515 million digital portfolio. In corporate services, he held executive responsibility for a $1 billion portfolio spanning people, finance, procurement, digital enablement and organisational performance.

Damian’s experience is distinctive because it spans both the boardroom and the operating environment. He understands the governance questions boards need to ask, the executive disciplines required to deliver, and the practical realities of leading reform across large, complex, regulated systems.

He currently serves as Chair of the Australasian Institute of Digital Health and as a Non-Executive Director of Gold Coast Primary Health Network. He is also Director of D. J. Green Advisory, where he advises boards, chief executives and senior leaders on governance, strategy, technology, AI, operating model design, corporate services renewal and system reform.

Damian brings particular depth in health and human services, but his advisory work extends beyond technology and health. His broader expertise includes people and culture, HR transformation, corporate services, procurement, financial stewardship, organisational strategy, service redesign, stakeholder management and complex change.

He is an Adjunct Professor in the School of Management at Griffith University and a Fellow of both the Australian College of Health Service Management and the Australasian Institute of Digital Health. He holds degrees in Economics with Honours and Arts from Monash University and is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Damian’s work is grounded in public value, stewardship and practical judgement. He helps leaders make better decisions in environments where risk, accountability, people and performance all matter.
