Rebecca Van Wollingen

Chief Executive Officer

BN (RN), MPH, MBA, AFACHSM

It is my belief that everyone deserves great health and that this concept means something different to each of us. We all need support, education and resources to explore, understand and ultimately implement our idea of great health. Health is a life long journey that requires a whole system approach. I am excited to lead the team at TDHS to ensure we create the right environment and resources to support our community members in their health journey.

I live on a small farm in Timboon and love to walk the rail trail. I also love to learn and I hold a Bachelor of Nursing, Masters of Public Health, Masters of Business Administration and am currently enrolled in the Australian Institute of Company Directors Course. I would also like to speak conversational Spanish by the end of 2023… Hurra!

Anna Reilly

Director of Clinical Services

Bachelor of Nursing, Post Grad Diploma of Midwifery, Post Grad Diploma of Critical Care, Master of Nursing (Clinical Education)

For over 20 years I have had the honour of calling myself a Registered Nurse and Midwife. I have been privileged to be there for consumers during some of the hardest and happiest moments of their life. Over the course of my career I have spent time in maternity services, emergency, intensive care, education and management, in both rural and metropolitan hospitals. This has given me a global view of healthcare needs across a range of areas. It has fuelled my passion for providing high-quality, safe, patient centred care. I love that I now have the opportunity to work with an innovative team of staff at Timboon who share my dedication to positively impacting the lives of those in the Timboon community.

I am a mother of two lively boys and love seeing the world through their eyes. I enjoy running, sewing, spending time at the beach and taking off in the caravan to explore new places. I love embracing any opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of others and find this role at Timboon and District Healthcare Service enables me to do just that.
