Healius appoints BIS Industries' Andrew Thomson as CFO

The news: Healthcare services provider Healius has announced the appointment of Andrew Thomson as its new chief financial officer following the retirement of Steve Humphries, effective 13 October.

The context: Thomson will join Healius from mining equipment provider BIS Industries, where he held the role of chief financial and commercial officer. He previously held leadership roles at Pacific National, Broadspectrum (formerly Transfield) and BHP.

Humphries will retire from Healius after nearly six years with the business. He was appointed CFO in March last year, after serving as deputy CFO since February 2020.

Healius has also appointed Eric Swayn as its national laboratory operations manager. Swayn, who will join the company in November, previously held senior roles with Australian Clinical Labs and Healthscope Pathology. Most recently he worked with New Zealand pathology group Awanui.
