Deanne Leaver recognised at the 2022 Top 50 Public Sector Women Awards

Deanne Leaver, Executive Director, Asset Development and Infrastructure Advisory Services at the Victorian Health Building Authority, was recognised at the Institute of Public Administration Australia Victoria 2022 Top 50 Public Sector Women Awards.

The awards recognise the achievements of established and emerging leaders across Victoria’s government departments and agencies during an ‘unprecedented’ period of challenges as the community grappled with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Deanne was one of 80 Victorian women public servants honoured across two categories at the award ceremony as ‘COVID-19 heroes’. 

In her role at VHBA she leads a multidisciplinary team of experts focused on environmental sustainability, property management, engineering services and asset management.

‘This award means a lot to me – these past few years have been especially challenging, and I’ve learnt so much from so many amazing and talented people,’ says Deanne. 

‘I’m proud to lead passionate teams developing health projects that deliver tangible benefits to the community and most recently, our support and response to the pandemic.’
