They had assumed roles as the organisation\u2019s CEO and Chair respectively barely a year apart, essentially presenting Hepatitis SA with a new generation of leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While their paths to leadership roles in Hepatitis SA had been somewhat different, Lindy and Kate had been colleagues at the Drug and Alcohol Services SA (DASSA), a connection that can only help in building a new partnership for their new roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lindy\u2019s entry into the Hepatitis SA Board had been gentle, having been recruited by the previous Chair, Arieta Papadelos, in 2023 to join as an ordinary Board member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI knew about Hepatitis SA and how it had taken on the peer user service, SAVIVE, after the AIDS Council folded,\u201d said Lindy. \u201cBecause of my lived experience in AOD*, I took a particular interest in what happened in the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>What motivated me to take up a role in Hepatitis SA were friends who were impacted by hep C and whose health are still affected<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She has been working with DASSA off and on for over 25 years. Trained in law, Lindy had, in between those stints, also worked in law-related projects and community services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat motivated me to take up a role in Hepatitis SA were friends who were impacted by hep C and whose health are still affected by it,\u201d Lindy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on becoming Chair in late 2025, she said, \u201cMy first year on the Hepatitis SA board was easy. I could just coast, but since taking over as Chair, I\u2019ve felt the need to step up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kate\u2019s move to Hepatitis SA, on the other hand, happened very quickly. She had been at DASSA since 2018 and never even thought of leaving, until a Hepatitis SA peer showed her the CEO job advertisement and asked if she had considered applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>The Hepatitis SA peer run sites were among the best<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In DASSA Kate had worked on the GP program which engaged with medical practices, before moving on to work as a project officer in harm reduction and then as coordinator of the NSPs. \u201cThat gave me quite a bit of contact with Hepatitis SA\u2019s NSP team,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Hepatitis SA peer run sites were among the best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, I thought about it and \u2026 why not?\u201d she recalled adding with a smile, \u201cI put in the application, went through the interviews, and here I am.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of her new role and responsibilities, Kate said, \u201cIt\u2019s a huge undertaking but I am enjoying it. There are so many projects with various funding sources, and the program areas within the organisation are all quite different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m learning how things work, understanding it all so I can make the best decisions\u2026 the appropriate decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af3dd9d99485&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af3dd9d99485\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"920\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ms-hepsa-montage-newleaders-2-1200x920.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ms-hepsa-montage-newleaders-2-1200x920.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ms-hepsa-montage-newleaders-2-600x460.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ms-hepsa-montage-newleaders-2-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ms-hepsa-montage-newleaders-2-768x589.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ms-hepsa-montage-newleaders-2-1536x1178.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ms-hepsa-montage-newleaders-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">New CEO, Kate Kelly, believes Hepatitis SA can build on its strength in engaging with communities especially those at risk of hepatitis B. (Image: montage\/hepsa) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Kate and Lindy believe there is room to explore. Lindy has some ideas for refreshment around governance, but \u201cthey\u2019re something that should be discussed with the board first\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She pointed out however, that \u201cbroadly speaking, because of the longevity of Hepatitis SA\u2019s executive leadership, the Board had been able to remain reactive rather than proactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith Kerry\u2019s retirement and Kate\u2019s arrival, the Board is entering a new phase. We have the responsibility to support Kate and an opportunity to be more creative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both women have strong roots in community. Kate was trained in performing arts, and before joining DASSA, had worked in theatre and the arts, where opportunities were irregular and income unstable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Lindy\u2019s and Kate\u2019s ties are with communities more at risk of hepatitis C, that experience can be translated to any vulnerable community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Reaching out to community has always been what Hepatitis SA was good at<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kate is keen to encourage more community engagement in Hepatitis SA activities. \u201cThat has always been our strength. We have peers who do great work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe can look at raising our profile through traditional and social media, but now that people are open to in person activities, we can take part in more community events particularly those at risk of hepatitis B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reaching out to community has always been what Hepatitis SA was good at.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lindy agreed and in addition, expressed a desire for the Board to meet face to face sometimes. \u201cFrom a governance perspective, we should be prepared at least once in a while to breathe the same air.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*<em> Alcohol and Other Drugs &#8211; refers to the use of alcohol and illicit or non-prescribed drugs, and related services.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kate Kelly and Lindy Brinkworth see opportunities for Hepatitis SA to refresh and rejuvenate.
