Feedback from our clients
Professor Peter Leedman AO
Director, Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research
“Moira was critical to us achieving our first major aim for the Comprehensive Cancer Centre – the announcement of $375M funding from the Federal Government. Moira bought exceptional strategic skills to the project as well as strong connections to a highly relevant national network. Her work strengthened the vision for the Centre. Her ability to work collaboratively across all stakeholders helped us stay focused on the bigger picture. I look forward to Moira playing an integral part in this transformative project as it develops in coming years”
