15 Sep 2026 - Northern Sydney Wellbeing Collabroration
Eugene McGarrell
The Northern Sydney Wellbeing Collaborative is an initiative designed to improve health and wellbeing in our community by bringing together people across the health and social care sector, within community and local stakeholders to respond to health and social challenges.
Eugene McGarrell GAICD is a senior health and community services executive with over 30 years' experience leading large-scale system reform to improve mental health, social, and population health outcomes. He has held CEO and executive leadership roles across government, Primary Health Networks, and not-for-profit organisations, with deep expertise in commissioning, health equity, and mental health and suicide prevention.
In his current role with Sydney North Health Network, Eugene leads the design and implementation of the Neighbourhood Health Hub model. The Hub is an integrated health and social care approach for communities most affected by inequity, anchored by a peer-led safe space for mental health drop-in support and a wellbeing café run as a social enterprise that employs people with lived experience. It grows in three stages, from small teams to a team of teams, to a full hub facility, so each community can move at its own pace.
Guests are always welcome.
