Every day, Linda Mellors, CEO and Managing Director of Regis Aged Care, is grateful to work in a caring sector that makes a difference in people’s lives. And she feels fortunate Regis can influence how aged care services are delivered in Australia. Yet, since Linda joined the company in 2019, it has been rocked by crises like no other in its 26-year history. Bushfires, floods, cyclone threats, the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety and now the COVID-19 pandemic. While these setbacks may have shaken the company’s foundations, they’ve also cemented Regis’s commitment to its values and the role it plays in the community.

ASX-listed Regis is one of Australia’s leading private aged care providers. It offers innovative residential, respite, ageing in place and dementia care to residents and home care clients. Established in 1994, Regis currently operates 65 aged care homes including retirement living and home care services across Australia. More than 6,500 residents call Regis home with 9,000-plus staff caring for them.
