We have a sector-led board made up of representatives from our member organisations.
Emma is an experienced executive leader with a background in international aviation, who transitioned to the addiction and mental health sector in Aotearoa ten years ago.

Platform's work in championing the mental health and addiction community sector aligns with this vision for a more inclusive and supportive healthcare system.
