About the role
We are particularly seeking an individual with:

Applicants with knowledge of governance principles such as those taught in the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) Company Directors Course (CDC) will be highly regarded.
Experience in the aged care sector and familiarity with the Aged Care Act 1997 and Aged Care Quality Standards is also desirable, given the regulated environment in which we operate.

Prior governance experience is desirable but not essential. Training, mentoring, and professional development opportunities will be provided to the successful candidate.
