Isaac Ryan is the General Counsel at Gold Coast Hospital and Health, a statutory corporation delivering a broad range of secondary and tertiary health services to the Gold Coast region across more than 20 facilities, including three hospitals and two health precincts.

Prior to joining GCHHS, Isaac worked for Queensland University of Technology as a research and commercialisation lawyer and, before that, at Education Queensland as a senior lawyer in commercial and administrative law. A civil service career was not planned, but Isaac found the practice of law in a public sector setting to be fascinating, challenging, and immensely satisfying.

Isaac is an admitted Solicitor of the High Court of Australia, Supreme Court of Queensland, and the Senior Courts of England and Wales. He holds a Masters of Business Administration, Bachelors Degree in Law, Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, and Bachelors Degree in Contemporary Studies with majors in Media Communication and Ethics Philosophy.
