One company’s loss is another company’s gain.
Ryman Healthcare Australia CEO Cam Holland opted to leave the NZ publicly listed group as it implemented a comprehensive management restructure. He had opened Ryman's ninth retirement village in Australia: in Mulgrave, 21km southeast of Melbourne’s CBD, just a week earlier. He was also chair of the Retirement Living Council's Care and Support Services sub-committee and the architect of the Retirement Living Council’s Shared Care advocacy.
He left Ryman after three years and seven months’ service. From 28 October, he began work as Director - Primary Care & Investments at Amplar Health, which is owned by the Medibank Group.
“Our Amplar Health ambition is to accelerate the health transition from traditional models and settings to personalised on-demand advice and treatment delivered closer to home, which could be the family home, a retirement village, a medi-hotel, residential aged care or short-stay hospital. Our sub-acute and acute care and mental health services are delivered nationally via digital, telehealth, or in person options,” said Amplar.
“Most consumer health journeys start with the GP and Amplar Health is investing heavily in growing our primary care capabilities to better deliver proactive, preventative care models which support people to age well. Cam's role will lead the organic and inorganic growth beyond our current 106 clinics and drive primary care advocacy and funding reform through our Proactive Primary Care Project, as well as join the board of Myhealth.”
Von Slater, who had been Ingenia Communities Group’s Executive General Manager - Development & Sales for two years and nine months, has been appointed CEO of Serenitas, which owns and operates a portfolio of 29 land lease communities.
“Von brings with her a huge depth of experience from her time at a number of Australia’s larger industry operators. Her expertise and leadership will be instrumental in delivering on our vision of empowering all those in our communities to live secure, fulfilled, and enriched lives,” said Serenitas, which in October 2023 was bought by Mirvac and Pacific Equity Partners Secure Assets for $1.01 billion. They bought a 47.5% stake with Serenitas CEO Rob Nichols’ Tasman Capital Partners keeping 5%.
“As part of this leadership expansion, Rob Nichols will transition from his current dual role as CEO and Executive Chairman to a sole role as Executive Chairman, and will remain deeply involved with Serenitas,” said Serenitas.
