The Aged Care Division and Griffith Business School are pleased to be able to welcome Rhonda Parker, Aged Care Commissioner to present at the conference on complaints scheme and compulsory reporting. Rhonda Parker was appointed Aged Care Commissioner on 1 May 2007. Rhonda's interest in ageing and the 50+ market began during her time as a member of the Western Australian parliament, where she served three years in the cabinet. As Minister for Seniors, she developed the first across-government plan on ageing for Western Australia and was instrumental in developing Australia 's first National Healthy Ageing Strategy, released in 2000.
After leaving politics Rhonda was Chief Executive of the Positive Ageing Foundation of Australia, an organisation dedicated to the research and promotion of successful ageing. In 2005 the Foundation merged with the Centre for Research into Ageing at Curtin University of Technology, where Rhonda was appointed an Adjunct Associate Professor.
During this period, Rhonda also established a consultancy, working with industry and government around the country to provide strategic advice on the impact of the ageing demographic, as well as delivering her 'Science of Successful Ageing' seminars to the 50+ population. Rhonda previously served as a director of the Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency, and has been a member of the Australian Speakers Bureau, the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and the Australian Institute of Management.
