Chris Hall AM, the CEO of Juniper, the Not For Profit residential aged care provider of the Uniting Church in WA since 2018, has announced he will step down from the role.

With 30 years of leadership in the Not For Profit and government sectors, Chris was previously CEO of MercyCare (2010-2018), CEO of Uniting Care West (2016-2010) and CEO of the Wesley Mission (2005-2006). He said it is the right time for him to retire.

“It has been an honour and privilege to have led Juniper during a time of unprecedented challenges and demands on the aged care sector,” he said.

Juniper’s Board of Directors has begun a search for a new CEO.

“The last few years have been some of the most challenging and complex for the Australian aged care sector and the Board and I wish to acknowledge and sincerely thank Chris for the strong leadership that he has shown during this time both for Juniper and within the broader aged care sector,” said Juniper Chair Maree Arnason.

A final date for Chris’ departure from Juniper will be announced in due course.
