The Australian aged care sector is navigating a perfect storm. The echoes of the Royal Commission, a workforce under immense pressure, and the seismic shift of AN-ACC have sent most organisations into a defensive crouch. They're focused on one thing: survival.

Our client is not one of them.

They see this chaos not as a threat, but as a once-in-a-generation catalyst. An unprecedented opportunity to shatter the old mold and redefine what excellence in care truly means. We are not searching for a caretaker to manage decline. Quite the opposite in fact. We are commencingour hunt for a courageous leader to architect the future.

We're looking for a leader who will be energised by the storm rather than intimidated by it. Someone who understands that while compliance is the floor, it can never be the ceiling. Someone who knows that the path forward demands more than risk-aversion; it demands innovation, resilience, and the guts to challenge long-held assumptions.

This is your mandate:

Responsibilities
  • Forge a new standard of care. Go beyond the metrics. Move past mere compliance to build a culture of genuine human connection, backed by rigorous clinical governance. Your goal isn't just to achieve 5-star ratings, but to make them an inevitable byproduct of a system built on empathy and dignity.
  • Master the commercial engine. To fund the mission, you must command the financials. You will be fluent in the complex language of AN-ACC, not as a bureaucrat, but as a strategist, translating clinical needs into a sustainable financial model that fuels, rather than restricts, world-class care.
  • Build an army of leaders. Your most critical task is to forge a culture where facility managers are not isolated operators, but a connected, supported, and resilient collective. You will make this organisation a true employer of choice by creating an environment where people are empowered to do the best work of their lives.

This isn't a role for the faint-hearted. It's for the leader who can hold two opposing ideas at once: the heart of a compassionate caregiver and the mind of a brilliant commercial strategist. It's for the executive whose resume proves their expertise, but whose character proves their courage.

The reward? A true legacy opportunity. A platform to build something of enduring value, with the full backing of a visionary Board and CEO who are ready to make bold, calculated decisions alongside you.

This is your chance to stop managing the present and start building the future.

If the scale of this challenge excites you more than it intimidates you, then we need to talk.
