Keane has worked in a number of roles within the HIV response over the last 25 years, including as a member of the AIDS Ministerial Advisory Committee, a facilitator of the Positive Leadership Development Institute Australia/New Zealand, and the former president of Living Positive Victoria.

“I am honoured to have this opportunity to lead an organisation whose people and culture have enabled myself and countless others to build skills and resilience over the last three decades,” said Keane.

“In my role as CEO, I will continue to champion the meaningful involvement of people living with HIV as central to an effective community-led response.”

Living Positive Victoria said that the role attracted international applicants, and Keane was selected as the candidate with the passion, vision and leadership needed to lead the organisation.

“On behalf of the board of directors, I want to thank all candidates for considering Living Positive Victoria as their next employment venture and wish each person all the best in their future endeavours,” said Millar.
