Regional Manager | Aged Care | If You Build It...

Status: Aggressive Expansion (New Builds & Acquisitions)

Product: Premium, over-sized assets at 5-Star Hotel standard.

Location: Multiple sites across QLD

The barriers to building new Aged Care homes have never been higher.

Financially, StewartBrown data suggests keeping capital in the bank yields a better return than building new beds.

Bureaucratically, industry leaders are reporting projects requiring 38+ consultant reports just to reach DA submission.

Structurally, zoning issues and infrastructure lags are stalling projects before they start.

Logically, most providers should accept the gridlock, pause development, and wait.

Our client doesn’t wait.

Through a unique combination of social-impact backing and commercial strength, our client has navigated the planning minefields and funding gaps to continue delivering a pipeline of premium homes. They are deploying significant capital to commission new sites and acquire others, securing a future for the organisation while adding much-needed capacity to the system.

Now, they need an operator to run them.

Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It

Operationalise the Counter-Cyclical Growth. You aren't inheriting a static portfolio. You are stepping into a machine that is building. Your challenge is to maintain clinical excellence in the current fleet while simultaneously breathing life into new sites, ensuring they launch with strong occupancy and stable rosters.

Elevate the Standard. The assets are world-class, boasting suite sizes and architectural finishes that dwarf the industry average. The hardware is ready; you need to drive the software. You will lead your Facility Managers to deliver a lifestyle model that matches the premium environment, proving that clinical governance and a joyful, vibrant resident experience are not mutually exclusive.

Solve the Workforce Puzzle. This is a national footprint that embraces regional communities. We need a leader who refuses to accept "staff shortages" as an unchangeable fact. You will need to be innovative, looking beyond the standard solutions to build a "sticky" culture where staff feel supported, valued, and empowered to stay.

Commercial Acumen with a Social Heart. The organisation is a Not-For-Profit, but it runs with the efficiency of a commercial entity. You must be fluent in the mechanics of AN-ACC and roster efficiency. You understand that financial sustainability is the only thing that secures the mission for the long term.

The Opportunity: You will be joining a leadership team that includes some of the industry’s most respected pioneers. This is a role for an executive who is tired of the narrative of decline. It is for the leader who wants to look back in five years and say, "When the industry stopped building, we doubled down."

If you are ready to trade maintenance mode for momentum, and if you tick the below boxes, we need to talk:
