Aggie Cox is a senior healthcare marketing leader and women’s health advocate with over two decades of experience spanning clinical care, medical technology, and executive marketing leadership. She currently serves as Government Affairs & Marketing Director for Australia and New Zealand at Hologic, Inc., a global medical technology company dedicated to advancing women’s health through early detection, diagnosis, and treatment.
With an early career as a Registered Nurse, including frontline experience in emergency and trauma care, Aggie brings a rare clinical lens to health leadership—grounding strategy, communication, and advocacy in real patient needs. This foundation has shaped her work in ensuring women’s health messaging is evidence‑based, accessible, and designed to drive real‑world outcomes.
At Hologic, Aggie has been instrumental in elevating attention to under‑recognised and under‑treated women’s health issues, including preventive screening, sexual and reproductive health, and heavy menstrual bleeding. Her leadership has helped normalise conversations often avoided due to stigma, empowering women to seek information, diagnosis, and care earlier.
Aggie is particularly recognised for reframing marketing as a public health lever, not just a commercial function. Her work connects education, awareness, digital innovation, and clinical credibility to improve health literacy and engagement—especially among women who may delay care due to embarrassment, lack of access, or misinformation.
Aggie regularly contributes to national leadership forums, industry conferences, and community events, including International Women’s Day panels and major marketing and customer experience conferences. Her speaking focuses on the intersection of women’s health, leadership, workplace wellbeing, and purpose‑led growth, as well as resilience and non‑linear career pathways for women in leadership.
Aggie holds a Master of Marketing from Melbourne Business School and is widely respected for bridging commercial performance with social impact. She is passionate about making women’s health visible, discussable, and actionable—in healthcare systems, workplaces, and society at large.

Australasian College of Paramedicine makes case for multi-disciplinary care
Despite being seen primarily as emergency responders, paramedics have long been providing care in the primary care space. As such, their increased involvement in primary and urgent care is a natural progression that can lead to improved health outcomes for communities. Urgent care clinics, which treat non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, have been a recent introduction. However, when these clinics were initially proposed, paramedics were left out of the opportunity, despite being experts in urgent, acute, unplanned, and unscheduled care. They work in these types of situations every day in the ambulance service and should be utilised in these clinics to improve patient outcomes. Working as part of multidisciplinary teams with doctors and nurses can further enhance the outcomes for local communities.

Still seeking outcomes after 6th Stoma Appliance Scheme Schedule Review
50,000 Australians have undergone the trauma and challenge of having a stoma inserted. Whilst the Australian Government invests in the appliances and products they need through the Stoma Appliance Scheme (SAS), this list is dated and doesn’t include as many of the products available in other countries. A new report commissioned by the Stoma Industry Association (SIA) shows Australia lagging countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Spain in supporting ostomates (people with a stoma).
