Here's the full announcement from the CEO of RMH:
I wanted to let you all know that Lisa Klug, the RMH Ombuds, has advised me of her resignation. Lisa is embarking on a wonderful opportunity to move overseas.
Lisa has been with the RMH for five years, initially leading the Safer Care Victoria trial at the RMH and the Royal Women’s Hospital, and more recently, as our very own independent Ombuds. This role has been a valuable resource at a time when we have been building on our speak up culture. With Lisa’s expertise, we have come a long way with many benefiting from her many education sessions to create psychological safety and manage conflict. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lisa for her hard work and commitment to our people, I know that the Royal Melbourne has really benefitted from your work.
At the moment we have made the decision not to replace the role so the Ombuds office will be closed from 30 August. For Lisa’s remaining time with us, she will continue to be available. All confidential discussions with the Ombuds, and the identify of visitors who used the Ombuds services will remain strictly confidential.

By working together, putting our people first and leading with kindness, we will continue to provide excellent quality care community whilst supporting each other.
“Just work with your supervisor.” The raw comments I’d like to post are too inappropriate for this forum. So I’ll just say the Board should take this decision as an indicator of the CEO’s short-sided incompetence.
