Tony Rolfe

CEO, Finlandia Village

Tony was appointed to the ACQ Board in May 2010 to fill a casual vacancy.  As a current member of the ACQ Retirement Living Committee and as the CEO of a community-based organisation delivering community care, retirement living choices and residential aged care, Tony contributes much relevant experience to the Board.

In addition to his current roles, Tony had an extensive career as a senior officer within the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing in various policy areas in health and community services.  From 2004 until 2007, Tony worked in the Office of the Federal Minister for Ageing, first as Departmental Liaison officer to the Hon Julie Bishop and then as Senior Aged Care Policy Adviser to the Hon Santo Santoro during his entire term as Minister.

Tony’s family operate a hotel business on the mid-north coast of NSW and he therefore brings to the ACQ Board considerable hospitality expertise in addition to his extensive range of health and aged care policy and program management skills and experience.

The ACQ Board will benefit from Tony’s broad knowledge and experience and is a most suitable member of the aged care industry to fill the casual vacancy on the Board
