Tim Nayton
Chief Risk Officer
Tim has a passion for achieving excellence in health, aged and community care services through the development and implementation of clinical governance, enterprise risk and quality management systems.
Tim commenced his professional career as a Physiotherapist and completed a postgraduate qualification in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and focused on that specialised area for several years before moving into managing occupational health.
After completing an MBA and graduate qualifications in Clinical Governance Tim commenced his executive career in health, aged and community care which has spanned over 15 years working in many parts of Australia with multinational, national and state-based organisations.
Through his educational qualifications, clinical expertise, and senior executive experience within commercial and mission-based organisations, Tim comes to Mercy Community with a unique range of skills and experience.
Throughout his management career Tim’s leadership philosophy has been based on three key tenets; to achieve service excellence, to build operational and financial resilience, and to grow organisational capability – especially through people and technology.
Tim is always focussed on developing processes and frameworks that enable an organisation to consistently meet the principles of person-centred care by ensuring people are treated with compassion and dignity, where they participate in decision making, and where the client’s needs and aspirations are foremost in the care planning process
