Mr Hoppo was previously South Australia state manager for disability provider peak body National Disability Services and held serval roles with the SA Government including adviser to the SA minister for disabilities.

Mr Hoppo said he hoped to make a difference in his role as CEO.

“Even in my short time with ACIA I have met so many passionate people who just want to get it right for consumers and I really see my role as helping them to achieve that goal,” he said.

ACIA also announced that director of aged care home All Care Aged Care facility The Vales, Neil Pahuja, was reappointed as deputy chair of the association.
