Anglicare Southern Queensland is pleased to announce the appointment of Kane Singh as Chief Operating Officer for Aged & Community Services.

With extensive experience in leadership and operational management, Kane will play a pivotal role in guiding Anglicare through the significant changes brought about by the new Aged Care Act and Support at Home reforms, set to take effect on 1 July 2025.

Anglicare Southern Queensland’s Chief Executive Officer Sue Cooke said she looks forward to Kane joining the executive leadership team.

“I am very pleased to welcome Kane Singh as our Chief Operating Officer for Aged & Community Services,” Ms Cooke said.

“Kane, a registered nurse, brings with him over 15 years’ experience within the aged care sector and holds a Postgraduate in Management and a Master’s in Business Administration.

“Kane comes to us from Carinity, where he was the Executive Manager of Aged Care and has extensive experience in senior leadership roles managing services across the state.

“He is passionate about quality care and service to elderly Australians and strongly advocates for good governance at every level focusing on the customer voice, people’s growth and strategies to achieve better outcomes.”

Mr Singh joined Anglicare a couple of months ago and has been impressed by the great work the organisation does in supporting those most vulnerable in Queensland.

“Each year Anglicare Southern Queensland supports more than 35,000 older Queenslanders and we have a strong workforce of more than 2,600 dedicated employees across our ACS portfolio who serve more than 6,000 Queenslanders daily,” Mr Singh said.

“I am responsible for implementing the strategy set by the Anglicare Southern Queensland board, for aligning our organisation with the future of the aged care reforms and how we can continue to improve our service delivery to meet the needs of our current and future clients.

“We are on the cusp of the next chapter with the incoming Aged Care Act and the Support at Home and Strengthened Quality Standards. I believe that strong leadership in this environment is pivotal for success.

“Adaptability is key, and technological innovations will play a key role in the sector’s renewal.”

Mr Singh said he is deeply humbled by the work Anglicare does and attributed the success of the organisation to the caring staff who go above and beyond to support those in need.

“At Anglicare, we serve the most vulnerable people in our society, and I believe the organisation’s values are part of our DNA,” he said.

“Every day, I see our staff and leaders fostering a loving environment where people are cared for, respected and valued.”
