THERE is a new captain at the helm for Boandik.

Declan Moore has been formally announced as Boandik’s new Chief Executive, and is set to take over from his predecessor, Glenn Rappensberg, in September.

Mr Rappensberg took on the role of Interim CEO in May, after former Chief executive Gillian McGinty stepped down.

Boandik Board of Directors Chair Vicki Quinn thanked Mr Rappensberg for his dedication to the organisation.

Mr Moore will join Boandik with nearly three decades of executive level experience in the human services industry, spanning non-profit, local and state government.

This includes CEO of the Campaspe Shire Council in Echuca, Victoria, where he successfully navigated staff and the organisation through the COVID-19 pandemic, which included working with cross-border councils and state organisations to reduce impacts on border communities.

He has a clinical background and has worked within a policy framework that advances social outcomes within multiple healthcare sectors.

Mrs Quinn said Boandik’s Board of Directors were unanimous in their decision to appoint Mr Moore.

“He has our full support to advance the organisation’s strategic objectives, for the betterment of the Limestone Coast community,” she said.

Mr Moore said he is motivated to use his skillset to drive high quality aged care and disability support services for South Australians who choose Boandik as their home or provider of services.

“My aspirations for Boandik, its residents, clients, families, staff, volunteers and other key stakeholders are about working with the Board and staff to deliver on the promises made in Boandik’s Strategic Plan and Key Result Areas,” he said.

“Boandik has a long and proud history of delivering quality services with the strong support of its community, and I very much look forward to playing my part in growing, strengthening and

maintaining our critical partnerships.”

Mr Moore will be based in the Limestone Coast.
