Nursing Lead, Cancer Program at Central Adelaide Local Health Network
"I had the pleasure of working with Bernie during his recent time leading the CALHN recovery team. During this time Bernie has influenced the way I approach problems in a fact based way. Bernie has encouraged me to be more curious, ask the difficult questions and supported me to manage challenging situations. Bernie has built capability within leaders that will ensure sustained growth and success."
Allana King
Nursing Director
Bernie has been extremely influential in assisting with my professional and personal development. He has motivated me to move into a growth mindset and challenge the status quo to do and be better.
Tina Jones
Lead Nurse Critical Care and Perioperative Program at SA Health
Bernie has been working in the CALHN Recovery team for 12 months and has been a key external advisor and facilitator of change management in the Organisation. He and his team have been integral to the Nursing Leadership team in particular imparting expertise, skills and techniques to make space to plan, stay focused, manage issues and stay “at cause” to remain positive and driving the change.
Nicola OLoughlin
Nursing Director, Recovery Team at SA Health
Bernie sets himself apart from most consultants by getting in beside you, not just telling you what you need to do, but showing you how. This style has enabled him to achieve sustainable change and make a real difference. Bernie’s knowledge and experience in the healthcare sector has allowed him to show us what excellence looks like and how we can achieve it. I have had the pleasure of working with Bernie Kelly since November 2018. Bernie is a great coach, teacher and mentor and I have extended myself both professionally and personally in my time working with him. That’s because Bernie is all about building capability in others. He has taught me to look at things through a different lens, to constantly challenge myself and to maintain an ‘at cause’ attitude. He has kept me focused through some very challenging times and helped me achieve clarity with my future direction. Thank you Bernie, for all your support and guidance.

For several years Bernie and I worked together driving business improvement. Looking at the entire value chain, challenging the status quo and seeking out better ways of doing things was how we operated. This strategic approach plus great stakeholder engagement allowed for breakthrough improvements – and then came the execution. Bernie is the best at what he does – and a terrific person – it was my pleasure to have worked with him.
Fiona Thomas
Clinical Documentation Specialist at St John of God Health Care
I am extremely fortunate to have had Bernie Kelly as a mentor. We met at St John of God Hospital Ballarat 6 years ago and still keep in touch. During the 3 years of Bernie assisting with the Enhancing the Patient Experience Bernie assisted many caregivers to achieve their optimal potential. I cannot thank Bernie enough for his guidance and encouragement to enable my leadership and management skills to flourish. I have achieved so much in my professional career and attribute much of the success to Bernie’s influence. I endorse and encourage you to seek Bernie’s assistance.
Sue Thomson
Institute Manager at Australian Institute of Health Service Management, University of Tasmania
Bernie approached me in my role as the Executive Director of Professional Development with the Australasian College of Health Service Management (the College) some years back. He impressed me with his business acumen combined with his passion to make changes to the health systems nationally and globally. At that time it was predominantly through creating efficiencies in our health systems to provide better health outcomes for patients. He helped the College grow its membership base simply by engaging with different cohorts. He is a skilled networker, communicator and collaborator and he combines those skills with warmth and authenticity.
Deborah Gordon
Aspen Institute Health Innovators Fellow at The Aspen Institute
I had the great pleasure of meeting Bernie on my Eisenhower Fellowship travels in Australia. Bernie helped shape my program, connecting me with some of Australia’s leading health care executives and organizations and helping educate me on the Australian system. Following my fellowship I was lucky to remain connected with Bernie, participating as he envisioned and created Reliable Excellence in Care, masterfully connecting global health care leaders to think differently, and bigger, about health care quality and effectiveness. Bernie is a phenomenal sounding board and coach, visionary health care leader, and all-around wonderful colleague.
Maria Noonan
Director of Nursing at St John of God Health Care
Three years ago I worked with Bernie Kelly on a project which looked at Enhancing the Patient Experience. This project reviewed every aspect of the patients journey and included staff from both clinical and non clinical professions. Bernie was an inspirational mentor and coach who challenged our thinking around all aspects of the patient experience. He taught us how to use data to inform practice, how to imbed quality processes into every aspect of our work and how to motivate staff to embrace change. The project transformed our thinking, our actions and ultimately the environment in which we worked. The patient experience was truly enhanced as they entered a health system that had quality at its core and the patient at the centre of its thinking and actions.
Andrew Stewart
Director – Business Performance Improvement
Bernie is a business leader I have known and worked closely with in different roles over 20 years. At Golden Circle he transformed the the end to end supply chain and operations returning the business to a profitable growth path. He also introduced and delivered one of the most successful Lean Supply Chain initiatives – The Golden Circle Perfect Pineapple Project – involving NFIS Funding, Woolworths, Grower/shareholders, and major packaging and support organisations. He later joined the consulting organisation I founded delivering a number of successful transformation outcomes for large and small organisations, and developed new products and businesses. Bernie has always demonstrated excellent business leadership skills and capability with strong and respectful peer and people relationships and engagement.
