Bishop Greg Homeming is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Fahey as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of St Vincent’s Lismore, effective from this Monday, 8 September 2025.

The appointment follows confirmation of the pending retirement of current CEO, Alan Cooper.

Peter has a wealth of leadership and healthcare experience, having previously held positions at Ramsay Health Care as CEO of Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital and Director of Clinical Services at North West Private Hospital.

The Board and staff look forward to working closely with Peter to ensure St Vincent’s Lismore remains at the forefront of private healthcare in the Northern Rivers, NSW.
