Rod Harris

Rod Harris has been CEO of MND Victoria since 1993. Prior to this he was a short time consultant in the disability field, CEO of ParaQuad Victoria, and a commonwealth public servant working in industrial relations.

He has had an extensive involvement with Palliative Care Victoria as a member of the Board of Directors, and has always been a strong advocate for a well funded palliative care program that addresses unmet needs. He believes that 'palliative care' should always be referred to as a quality of life service, not an 'end of life' service.
