ACSA CEO departs

Long standing CEO of ACSA, Greg Mundy, is leaving the organisation’s top role.

First, a new minister and soon, a new CEO of the peak body for the not-for-profit sector association, Aged and Community Services Australia (ACSA).  

ACSA has just announced the departure of its long-standing CEO, Greg Mundy.

Mr Mundy, who has held the top position for 10 years, will formally leave the organisation in December to “pursue other career opportunities,” ACSA said. 

The departure comes as a surprise to the sector, with the Productivity Commission due to hand down its final report from its inquiry into aged care in April 2011.

ACSA president, Klaus Zimmermann, said that Mr Mundy had done a fantastic job in building ACSA’s reputation as a respected leader of the aged and community care industry.

“ACSA’s voice is respected where it counts and Greg is acknowledged as a leader of our industry. He has built up a talented team and can look back on an outstanding record of achievement over the past ten years,” he said.

“ACSA’s achievements in policy work are second to none as is shown by the number and quality of reports, papers and submissions we have produced under Greg’s leadership.  There is no doubt he has been instrumental in bringing to the fore the issues the Productivity Commission is now working on. 

“In recent years the focus on communications through the Image Project with its innovative use of social media has placed ACSA at the forefront of industry peak bodies. ACSA’s recent highly applauded national conference in Hobart was the latest in a series of what has become the premier event on Australia’s aged care calendar.

“Greg is in demand as a speaker at national and international aged care events and a respected commentator on aged care matters in the media.

“His record of leadership across the aged care sector culminated this year in the Campaign for Care of Older Australians and The Grand Plan which many people have described as the industry’s best campaign ever.

Mr Zimmerman said Mr Mundy will remain in the position until 14 December.  

“The ACSA board has a scheduled meeting on Monday 18 October in Canberra and plans for advertising the CEO position will be discussed then. Deputy CEO, Pat Sparrow, will act as CEO as required in any interim period as she always does. ” he said.

“On behalf of ACSA’s Board, I wish Greg well with his future plans.”
