The former CEO of Eureka Group Holdings has hit the ground running after taking the reins of the Not For Profit in May.
“Sundale has significant land holdings and I am extremely excited to unlock and develop these in order to provide more affordable housing for the senior's market. The Sunshine Coast has a huge growth population and Sundale has the land for future sustainable development,” he said.
Cameron is focussing on new ways of approaching care. Sundale owns and operates five retirement communities, seven accredited care centres and in-home services on the Sunshine Coast.
“I think it is important to underscore the difference between Sundale and other providers in this space,” he said. “We are not listed on the ASX and we are not Corporate or Church affiliated. To put it simply, this means we are not beholden to shareholders, and funds we generate remain within our organisation. Ours is a members based organisation and 80% of our members are residents.
“I have encouraged our team to understand that while we are a Not For Profit organisation, our aim needs to be to generate profits for purpose. We want to be self-funded in order to not only maintain, improve on and expand our housing and care options, but also to give back to our broader community.
“I think our model is unique in that people can come to our retirement villages from the age of 60, and as they age and perhaps their needs change and they either need in home help, or a higher level of care, we can provide that as well. We can even support people through the final stages of their life and that is something we treat as an absolute privilege. It is a completely integrated model that will allow our residents to remain in their own community, right to the end."
