Tamara Marwood

About

A career about getting people and systems to move together.

I started in community engagement — the work of getting people and institutions to move in the same direction. I have spent the years since in delivery: clinical and patient-administration systems, university-wide platform change, engineering operations for a health-technology scale-up, and large-scale workforce and research programmes.

The through-line is the same everywhere. The technology is rarely the hard part; the work around it is. Alongside the delivery work I research how AI is governed and assured in clinical settings, and I lecture in digital health.

Questions

The short answers.

What does Tamara Marwood do?

I'm an independent adviser and interim leader for health organisations, working through TJ Marwood Pty Ltd. I turn strategy into delivered change — portfolio governance and roadmaps, programme turnaround and recovery, AI assurance and governance in clinical settings, and interim delivery leadership.

Who do you work with?

Public and private health services, Primary Health Networks and Local Health Districts, government health and workforce bodies, tertiary and research institutes, and the health-technology companies and vendors building for them — across Australia.

What's your background in AI governance?

A Master of Research at the Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Macquarie University, on how a NSW Local Health District applied the NSW AI Assurance Framework to a clinical AI device, analysed through the SEIPS work-systems model. I presented the findings at the AIDH AI Care conference in 2025, with an article in revision for the Australian Health Review, and I am completing MIT's Applied Agentic AI for Organizational Transformation.

How do I engage you?

Three ways: an advisory retainer (a set number of days each month), a fixed-scope project (four to twelve weeks, priced to scope), or interim leadership (three to nine months on a day rate). Email me for a first conversation and a fixed quote.

Start a conversation

A strategy that won't move, a programme that's stuck, an AI system you're not sure how to govern — I would like to hear about it.

A 30-minute conversation, no charge. Tell me what you are trying to move.
