Joining Macca and Kenny in the studio IS Simon Ruth,  is standing down as CEO of Thorne Harbour Health, after joining the then Vic AIDS Council as CEO 12 years

After more than a decade of leading Thorne Harbour Health, Simon Ruth has announced he will step down as Chief Executive Officer next month.

‘Ruth, who first joined THH in 2013, when was still known as the Victorian AIDS council (VAC) has been at the forefront of expanding its scope from HIV prevention and support to a broader focus on the health and wellbeing of LGBTQIA+ communities across Victoria, South Australia, and beyond’

‘Under his leadership, Thorne Harbour evolved from being Melbourne’s leading community response to HIV into a multi-faceted health service that addresses mental health, family violence, and alcohol and other drug use within queer communities. His tenure saw the establishment of regional and interstate services — from the Bendigo-based Thorne Harbour Country service in 2016, to the SAMESH partnership in South Australia — ensuring that people outside metropolitan areas also had access to affirming, community-led care’.
