Kym Goodes will take on the role of TasCOSS CEO following the retirement of current CEO Tony Reidy in June.
“We are delighted to announce Ms Goodes will take on the position,” President of TasCOSS Noel Mundy said.
“Kym has a background in the private, government and community sectors and has been Director of 3P Consulting for the past six years, working across a range of industry and sector areas,” Mr Mundy said.
“Prior to this, Kym worked at a senior level in both the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services. In these policy development roles her focus included transition and retention of young people, career and transition support, and ‘youth at risk’ models.
“Most recently, Kym was key facilitator of a number of major government consultations with the community sector and consumers. She has undertaken work for Health, Human Services and Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Directorate including the major consultation with government, sector, consumers and carers for the Rethink Mental Health project.
Mr Mundy said this was a crucial time for community services both in the State and Federally.
“Services are increasingly in demand while funding remains uncertain or diminished across almost all areas.
“We have no doubt Kym will prove an excellent leader for the sector.”
TasCOSS advocates for low income and otherwise disadvantaged Tasmanians and is the peak organisation for the community sector.
