Current Directors
of Police Health are:
| Peter Shanahan (Chairman) |
Detective Senior Sergeant Peter Shanahan of the Sexual Crime Investigation Branch joined SAPOL in 1975 and has been a member of the Police Health Board since 1995.
"The key issue for me is to provide those SAPOL employees who form the heart of the Fund with the best health insurance money can buy. In order to ensure this, Police Health must connect with its members so that their needs are identified and met. By the time I nominated for the Board in 1995, the Fund had served me well for 20 years. It was time to give something back and I hoped that my legal knowledge would be able to contribute to the effective running of a highly successful and family friendly fund." |

Kevin Lawton (Vice Chairman)
Finance and Audit Committee - Chairperson |
Kevin Lawton is Sergeant at the Henley Beach Operation. An employee of SAPOL since 1985, he became a member of the Board in 1998.
"I have a keen interest in the business operations, financial management and human resources related issues of Police Health. I am especially interested in government legislation and regulation relating to the health industry, for example Lifetime Health Cover and the 30% rebate. I feel these have a direct impact on an individual's attitude toward private health insurance, which in turn influences membership growth. I nominated for the Board because I have a genuine concern for the welfare of fellow police officers, public servants and retired members." |

Madeleine Glynn
Risk Management and Compliance Committee - member |
Madeleine Glynn is Assistant Commissioner, Southern Operations Service.
She joined SAPOL in 1976 and the Police Health Board in 1998.
"My interest lies in ensuring that Police Health continues to provide excellent service and value for money. I believe it is important in these times that Board members are active in ensuring that the organisation is in the best possible shape to progress and to be certain of being as viable and capable of high service standards in 20 years as it is now. I joined the Board to work with other like-minded people to achieve our goals and to 'give something back'." |

Joanne Shanahan
Strategic Development and Monitoring Committee - Chairperson
|
Joanne Shanahan is Detective Chief Inspector at the Elizabeth Criminal Investigation Branch. She has been employed by SAPOL since 1981 and has served on the Board of Police Health since 1994.
"As a Board member, the key issue for me is promoting to our broader policing community and their families the benefits of private health insurance in general and membership of Police Health in particular. This is fundamental to maintaining a strong and growing core membership of families connected with policing. I have a keen interest in ensuring balance on the Board by providing a voice to represent the family membership of the Fund. My key focus is on ensuring that the Fund gives the best possible service to all its members." |

Anthony Woodcock
Finance and Audit Committee - member |
Tony Woodcock was a Senior Sergeant with SAPOL before his retirement in 1995. He served for 34 years and has been a Board member since 1996.
"The most important issue to me as a Board member of Police Health is the corporate governance process, or the overall running of our core business. I am keenly interested in the human resources aspect of the Fund and believe my Employee Relations background in SAPOL helps me to better understand the needs of our members. My aim is to continue to contribute to the future direction of Police Health." |

David Marr
Strategic Development and Monitoring Committee - member |
David Marr is SAPOL's Senior Police Chaplain. He has been employed by South Australian Police for 28 years, joining the Board of Police Health in 1995.
" I have a keen interest in the service, support and product Police Health makes available to police members and their families. I have a particular interest in supporting our country families, especially those who live and serve in isolated areas. As Chaplain I have a lot of personal contact with police members across the state and regularly make enquiries with them about Police Health issues. I see my role as representing their interests and welfare on the Board and in keeping people concerns and issues in focus." |

Mick O’Neill
Risk Management and Compliance Committee - chairperson |
Mick O’Neill, Operations Manager, Vedior Asia Pacific, served as a Police Officer from 1980, (when he joined Police Health) until January 2003.
“As someone who has been given outstanding personal service over the 20 plus years of membership, I feel a connection to the fund beyond the provision of insurance. I believe my policing experience combined with my growing commercial, risk management and organisational development knowledge will add significant value to the Board and the members. It is an exciting time for Police Health and I will strive to contribute to the Board’s ongoing stewardship of this successful and worthwhile fund” |

Philip Vincent |
Phil Vincent, Business Manager (Crime Service), joined SAPOL in 2000 and has been a member of the Police Health Board since 2007.
“As a Board member, I am keen to promote the benefits in being a member of Police Health particularly amongst non-sworn employees. I have a young family and an interest in finance which will obviously contribute to my specific focuses. I aim to help in ensuring that Police Health continues to grow whilst providing the best products and benefits to members. I look forward to the opportunity to learn from the current experienced board members and will strive to give as much support and direction as I am able." |
