RSL LifeCare has welcomed a new CEO this week, with the appointment of experienced and entrepreneurial business leader, Janet Muir.  Ms Muir joins one of the leading Residential Care and veteran services organisations in NSW and the ACT having spent her career to date in senior roles across human services and healthcare sectors.

“This is an incredibly important time to continue to deliver a high level of care for our seniors and veterans and I’m delighted that Janet has accepted the opportunity to be part of the RSL LifeCare team,” Ms Sangeeta said.

“Our purpose as an organisation is to enrich the lives of Veterans and Seniors by creating connected, supportive and vibrant communities.  I know that Janet shares this vision and I, along with the board, look forward to seeing her skills and strengths on display across our organisation.”
