Remembering Julie Pascoe

31 March, 2020

In 2020 we shared with the rt health community the very sad news that Julie Pascoe, long time rt health Board Member and Chair of the Board, died on 31 March following a courageous battle with cancer. 
 
Julie joined the rt health Board in 2011. She held the position of Chair from 2015 to 2019, and Chair of Transport Health from 2016 to 2020. She was also a member of numerous Board Committees. 
 
In the nine years she was part of rt health, Julie deftly guided the organisation through some of the most significant events in its recent history, including the purchase of Transport Health, amid a challenging and rapidly evolving external environment. 
 
Julie brought valuable expertise to the Board, including more than 30 years’ experience in consumer goods marketing and strategic development. Possibly even more valuable was the passion, commitment and dedication Julie devoted to rt health. Julie was always a powerful advocate for our members and a proud supporter of all the committed rt staff that serve them. 

Julie brought a uniquely open and engaging tone to the boardroom, a warmth to everyone she met and unwavering support to all those who sought to do their best in any endeavour. These same qualities enabled Julie to build strong and enduring relationships with her peers at other health funds and many other people across the private health industry. 
 
Julie will be missed but her impact at rt health will live on for many years to come.
