Did you know that aged care boards currently hold over 30 billion dollars in resident deposits within Australia?

It’s a big responsibility - and we’re deep diving on this in today’s episode with Anthony Hamawi and David Hurley from JBWere. 

In this episode, Anthony and David share:

• Why strong governance and liquidity management are the foundation of good investment decisions
• How aged care boards can balance risk and return without losing sight of their mission
• The importance of skilled, diverse boards and the debate over paying board members
• Why the sector needs to embrace a “user pays” model and attract new investment to meet growing demand
• And a powerful reminder that aged care is about more than numbers — it’s about being the stewards of Australians’ final days and creating communities where life — and death — are treated with dignity.

Today’s conversation is with someone we both have immense respect for: Nick Ryan, the CEO of Lutheran Services. Lutheran Services has been providing services and support to Queenslanders for 90 years. 

Dane: Nick’s credentials are impressive: 

• He’s the Chairperson of Meaningful Ageing Australia
• He was previously the CEO of Aged Care Queensland, which is now called Ageing Australia. 
• He also held the role of CEO of the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency, where, under his guidance, new Aged Care Quality Standards were established. 

In this chat Nick highlights a huge problem in Aged Care and how we can change it.
