As part of a planned transition from longtime CEO Ken Griffin, the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association () has announced that the Board is searching for its next CEO. With Griffin鈥檚 term concluding in January 2026, APNA said a potential handover period will enable a seamless transition of leadership. APNA said it has had 鈥渞emarkable growth in membership鈥� during Griffin鈥檚 tenure, with the APNA team growing from 19 to more than 70 under his leadership, which was said to have also 鈥渃onsistently ensured the voice of nursing was visible and respected in the primary health sector鈥�.

鈥淎PNA is a unique organisation in both its culture and its impact. I鈥檓 proud of what its highly skilled and capable team has achieved together over the past seven years,鈥� Griffin said. 鈥淭he Board and team have continually worked to ensure that primary health care nurses are expertly represented, engaged and supported by their peak body. APNA isn鈥檛 just a leader in nursing; it鈥檚 a positive disruptor in primary health care.鈥�

APNA President Karen Booth expressed her appreciation for Griffin鈥檚 strong leadership during some challenging years, saying 鈥淭he Board is now looking for a CEO who will lead APNA into its next stage of development including consolidation after seven years of significant growth and preparing for the next strategic plan.鈥� This announcement came as APNA moved to the final stage of its president succession planning, with Booth鈥檚 term as president ending later this month. APNA said it will announce a new president from within its membership, with Booth to continue her role on the APNA Board for another year, providing a timely handover to the new president.
