Bill Appleby

Chief Executive Officer

Bill is a strong executive leader with extensive experience and strategic understanding of the aged care and community services. Bill’s deep commitment to community welfare is well suited to his current role as Chief Executive Officer, Jewish Care, a diverse not-for-profit organisation that supports the vulnerable, provides aid in times of hardship and crisis, and creates opportunities to strengthen the wellbeing and resilience of the Melbourne Jewish community.

Originally trained as a nurse, Bill has held various senior positions including his most previous role as Executive Director – Aged Care, Mercy Health and General Manager of Operations at Regis Group. Bill is passionate about value based leadership and how he can influence the development of a “good society”.

Driven by a personal objective to care more than others think is wise, to risk more than others think is safe, to dream more than others think is practical, and to expect more than others think is possible - Bill is driven in his desire to create value through change.
