New Executive Director Jillian Fox with Jubilee Board President Dr Judith Salecich.
An announcement by Jubilee Community Care Board President Judith Salecich ….
Dear clients, client families and friends of Jubilee Community Care,
It gives me much pleasure to announce the appointment of Mrs Jillian Fox as the new Executive Director of Jubilee Community Care.
Jillian took up the appointment on Monday, March 17, 2025. Jillian comes to the role with extensive experience in community aged care and a strong desire to make a real difference in your lives and the lives of your loved ones. As Board President, I am looking forward very much to working with Jillian in the months and years ahead.
Mr Shaun Riley, Executive Director since January 2023, notified the Board several months ago of his intention to finish up early this year. Commencing in January 2025, the Board set about finding a suitable replacement. A rigorous recruitment process was carried out, with Jillian’s appointment the happy outcome.
Shaun has agreed to work with the Board and Jillian to ensure a smooth transition of leadership. Shaun’s final day with Jubilee will be Friday, April 11. If you have appreciated Shaun’s contribution to your life and wellbeing during the past two years, I invite you to write to him, or email him at sriley@jccagedcare.org.au to let him know prior to his departure.
The organisation we have today is due in no small way to Shaun’s leadership and the dedication and hard work of Shaun and his staff over the past two years.
What follows is a brief introduction to Jillian Fox. I hope you will join with me and the Board, and our wonderful employees, in making Jillian welcome.
Dr Judith Salecich,
Jubilee Community Care Inc Board President
