Biography
Professor Ann Dadich is a registered psychologist and a Justice of the Peace in New South Wales. She is an internationally-recognised expert in health service management, notably knowledge translation. This encompasses scholarship on the processes through which different forms and sources of knowledge coalesce to promote brilliant care - that is, care that exceeds expectation. This is demonstrated by her publishing record; the research grants she has secured; the postgraduate theses she is invited to examine; and the awards she has received.
Professor Dadich holds editorial appointments with several academic journals, including Heliyon and the Australian Health Review. She is also the Deputy Director of the Sydney Partnership for Health, Education, Research and Enterprise (SPHERE) Knowledge Translation Platform; she co-chairs the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Management (ANZAM) Health Management and Organisation (HMO) Conference Stream; she co-convenes the ANZAM HMO Special Interest Group; and she serves on the Executive Committee of ACSPRI (the Australian Consortium for Social and Political Research Inc.). Additionally, Professor Dadich supervises doctoral candidates and teaches undergraduate units on change management, innovation, creativity, and organisational behaviour.
