Biography

Dr Rosalie Boyce is internationally recognised for her expertise in allied health management, organisation and leadership. Rosalie combines her research, consultancy and clinical experiences to challenge allied health to focus on where they can add value to patient care and the strategic agenda of health care organisations. Rosalie’s leadership style is to interweave thoughtful research-based finding with a tireless enthusiasm for allied health to ‘proceed until apprehended’. She argues that knowledge and networks are the key to success for allied health to move forward.

After 10 years as an allied health professional and department manager, Rosalie commenced her PhD studies in health services management in 1990 with a comparative study of different models of organising allied health services in complex health care settings. She has spent two decades investigating and sharing how professions and organisations are reshaping themselves in the face of significant health workforce reform agendas. The impact of Rosalie’s research is seen internationally with the widespread uptake of organisational models that flow from her original work on Divisions of Allied Health and the Integrated Decentralisation model. Her work on building an allied health identity and fostering cultural artefacts is at the heart of the modern understanding of ‘allied health’.

Dr. Boyce has five university degrees, authored over 100 papers in academic and professional outlets, earned in excess of $8 million from research grants and awards and advised many national and international organisations on reconfiguring the management and governance of their health services. An accomplished communicator, Rosalie had delivered approximately 60 workshops and seminars to a variety of health profession audiences with the aim of inspiring learning, action and personal growth. Director of her own consultancy company since 2013, Dr Boyce has also had an appointment at the University of Queensland since 1995.

Rosalie, together with Dr Monica Moran, is co-founder and a director of the HealthFusion Team Challenge(HFTC), an interprofessional team work competition for senior university health science students and professionals. HFTC has licensed competitions in several countries and has received Australian and international awards.

Rosalie is a Fellow of the Australasian College of Health Service Management of 25 years standing. In 2013 Rosalie received a prestigious national teaching award from the Federal Department of Education’s Office of Learning and Teaching. In 2016, she was awarded the International Allied Health Award for Excellence by the International Chief Health Professions Officers (ICHPO) network for ‘outstanding lifetime contribution to international allied health development’. In 2017 Rosalie was awarded Australia’s inaugural National Allied Health Inspiration Award.
