ProVision has announced the resignation of its Chief Executive, Cam Battaglia, after nearly four years at the helm of the organisation.
ProVision is the largest independent optical group in Australia. Established by the Optometrists Association of Australia in 1989 as an independent membership organisation, ProVision now has more than 370 independent optometrist members nationally.
Announcing the resignation in a letter to ProVision members, Chairman Ian Bluntish said Mr. Battaglia had “made a significant contribution to the development and operations of ProVision”.
“During his period as CEO, ProVision has developed a significantly greater retail focus both in our organisational structure and in the programs and services that we have on offer to our members,” Mr. Bluntish said.

As ProVision CEO, Mr. Battaglia attended all ProVision board meetings and was influential in jointly setting strategic direction of the organisation in conjunction with the Board of Directors.
Mr. Bluntish said ProVision was in a “sound financial position”.
“While we have faced new and unprecedented marketplace changes and challenging economic times over this time, the performance of ProVision member practices generally exceeds that of industry averages,” Mr. Bluntish said.
Mr. Battaglia leaves ProVision on 14 October. Recruitment for a new CEO is underway.
Mr. Battaglia said the Board wished to thank Mr. Battaglia for his work, and wished him well for the future.
