“Linda’s strong leadership of our workforce, and connection with customers and other stakeholders, is exceptional,” Ms Lynch said.

“Her depth of experience in the sector is also significant. Since joining ACH Group nine years ago, Linda has led our business and operating model transformation to meet regulatory requirements while ensuring our customers are at the heart of everything we do.

“Right now we are on the cusp of releasing our new strategy which will see ACH Group invest significantly in people, services and assets.

She is steering our organisation in the right direction, increasing our capability and capacity to support good lives for older people.”

As ACH Group continues to adapt and evolve, I am very optimistic about the opportunities and possibilities to help older people live their best life.
